Perpetrator-centric risk assessment approach and tool

Work is underway to develop risk assessment tools and approaches for adults using domestic and family violence, young people using domestic and family violence, and young people impacted by DFV.

The tool will complement the victim-survivor focused Common Risk and Safety Framework. Separate tools will also be developed for young people using DFV and young people at risk of or experiencing DFV.

Initial engagement with stakeholders has been completed. More engagements are planned to ensure the unique risk and protective factors for priority population cohorts are appropriately considered in development.

The risk assessment tools for persons using violence have been developed and work is underway on a phased implementation approach.
