Event description

Risk assessment, risk management and safety planning are dynamic processes and understanding these is critical for client and staff safety. 

Risk assessment and risk management of the perpetrator should begin and be documented at the point of initial intake and assessment, and continue throughout the duration of the program. Further, facilitators of perpetrator interventions need to be aware that these three related processes are not conducted by the facilitator in isolation, but with other facilitators, women’s advocates and officers from other agencies (e.g. police, probation and parole, etc.).

This workshop will examine these and other related issues, based on contemporary evidence.  It will be practice-oriented, building on recent developments in risk assessment research and practice (e.g. the NSW Risk, Safety and Support Framework) as highlighted in the 2021 SPEAQ Forum.

The workshop will also discuss the suitability of tools for assessing and managing risk with users of family violence

It aligns with both the Domestic and family violence services Practice principles, standards and guidance and Perpetrator Intervention Services Requirements. 

A pre-tech session is available prior to this workshop so that participants are able to test their equipment’s compatibility with this delivery mode (Zoom).
