IS.5:4.6 - End the contribution without abandoning dependent work

State exactly what ends: the target use, a temporary support service, a provider’s participation, a subsidized arrangement or a particular strategy. Identify actual unfinished work and recipients who relied on the contribution. Obtain their disposition through the relevant authority and professional practice.

For a completed low-risk trial with no continuing promise, this may be a short explanation and closure of its remaining questions. For a continuing service, it may require transfer, a fallback or a staged reduction. For a target practice found unfit, it may require stopping its use and restoring a qualified alternative. The implementation-support practitioner does not infer the safe stopping procedure from the fact that support is ending.

Do not keep collecting reports after they can no longer change a legitimate decision. Preserve materials that a continuing receiver needs; do not retain unnecessary personal information merely to document a past programme. Resolve access and custody under the applicable agreement.

End when the promised contribution and actual remaining obligations are complete, transferred or legitimately withdrawn. The old provider’s availability can then stop without being silently assumed by the new arrangement. If a necessary receiver or authority is absent, return that unresolved condition plainly; a closing meeting cannot supply it.
