Networking & Collaborating for Risk Assessment

Working together to respond to family violence is essential for all professionals, no matter what sector we work in. When we want victim-survivors and children to be safe from harm, and persons using violence to receive support for change, we need to collaborate, sharing our professional judgement and expertise with each other to ensure clear identification of family violence, and to inform risk management and safety plans.

Pillar 2 of the MARAM requires organisations to have a ‘shared approach to identification, screening, assessment and management of family violence risk’. This is achieved by using tools consistent with the MARAM evidence-based risk factors as consistency also improves collaboration; services can use the same language and understanding of family violence risk to work together to keep victim survivors safe and perpetrators accountable.
