CB.12:4.6 - Retain, revise, transfer or stop

Retain the arrangement when it supplies a wanted result at acceptable burden. Fewer reminders, fewer visits or a simpler action can be an improvement if the receiving result is preserved.

Revise the part that failed. A new work schedule may need another occasion; a changed platform may need another route; a different question may need another respondent. Keep the parts that still work. If a change couples several conditions, avoid claiming that the observation isolates one cause.

After absence or a role change, recover the current need and conditions before restarting the old routine. Use CB.3 when the person is returning or changing their contribution. A former commitment can be reduced or replaced; the person need not recover an old activity level merely to count as returned.

Where continued professional development is the purpose, HCD.15 supplies the fuller arrangement for later-work triggers, contribution ownership, evidence and reassessment. Its professional criteria govern that result. A repeated community action can support the arrangement without establishing capability by itself.

Stop the support when the person declines it, the result no longer matters, the burden is unacceptable or the necessary contribution cannot be provided. Turn off the agreed reminders, clarify any remaining accepted commitment and preserve access to useful material where its terms allow. If another person has relied on a continuing contribution, arrange a handover or revise that promise through its owner.

On closing the arrangement, explain what remains available, what has ended and how the person can return if a new need arises.
