The Western Australian Family and Domestic Violence Common Risk Assessment and Risk Management Framework
The second edition of the Common Risk Assessment and Risk Management Framework (CRARMF) has been developed for use by all government agencies and community sector services to promote a consistent collaborative and seamless approach to identifying and responding to family and domestic violence.
It is now included alongside service specifications for community sector service contracts managed by the Department for Child Protection and Family Support, has been progressively included into the policy and practices of legal and statutory agencies/authorities and is increasingly being used by a range of mainstream service providers.
The purpose of the framework is to:
-
support better identification of, and response to, victims of family and domestic violence regardless of what area of the service sector they come into contact with;
-
ensure service responses are client and safety focused; and
-
support inter-agency collaboration so responses are timely, holistic, streamlined and coordinated.
The Framework sets common practice standards for family and domestic violence screening, risk assessment, risk management, information sharing and referral for all services – mainstream and specialist, government and community sector.
The key components of the Framework are:
