Key Takeaways for Consistent Conditions:
- ✓ Proportionality: Conditions must be the least restrictive option and proportionate to the risk identified.
- ✓ Specificity: Avoid vague conditions; be specific about what is required and who is responsible.
- ✓ Enforceability: Only recommend conditions that can realistically be monitored and implemented.
- ✓ Rights-focused: Conditions should enhance the person's rights, not just manage risk.
