<p /> <p>All offenders released from custody on licence are subject to six standard
conditions. There are no exceptions. The standard licence conditions include requirements
to keep in touch with their supervising officer, to seek permission prior to obtaining
employment or moving address, and restrictions on travel outside the UK.</p><p> </p><p>It
is also possible for additional conditions or restrictions to be placed upon the licence
- for example, to prevent the offender in question from contacting a previous victim,
or from visiting certain locations or premises. Any additional condition must be justified
as being necessary for the effective management of the offender in question, as well
as being proportionate to the risk the offender poses.</p><p> </p><p>The process for
requesting and approving any additional conditions is the same for all offenders released
on licence, so that the supervising officer may have specific regard to any offender
with learning disabilities. If the supervising officer who manages the case considers
that additional conditions are necessary and proportionate, they must request these
of the Governing Governor of the releasing prison, or the Parole Board, whoever has
responsibility for release in that case. The decision on whether to include such conditions
rests with that authority.</p>
