principles of the national risk assessment principles for domestic and family violence
- survivors safety is the core priority of all risk assessment frameworks and tools
- a perpetrator’s current and past actions and behaviours bear significant weight in determining risk
- a survivor’s knowledge of their own risk is central to any risk assessment
- heightened risk and diverse needs of particular cohorts are taken into account in risk assessment and safety management
- risk assessment tools and safety management strategies for indigenous peoples are community-led, culturally safe and acknowledge the significant impact of intergenerational trauma on communities and families
- to ensure survivors safety, an integrated, systemic response to risk assessment and management, whereby all relevant agencies work together is critical
- risk assessment and safety management work as part of a continuum of service delivery
- intimate partner sexual violence must be specifically considered in all risk assessment processes
- all risk assessment tools and frameworks are built from evidence-based risk factors
