This paper explores risk assessment and management in relation to children and families experiencing domestic violence; in particular, the communication and collaboration between child protection services, the police and independent domestic violence services.
Highlights:
• Domestic violence risk assessment needs to address both adult and child victims.
• Risk assessment and management should be done with children and victims not to them.
• Co-location is used by agencies to embed domestic violence skills and knowledge.
• New models of interagency risk assessment are emerging in the UK and Australia.(from the authors' abstract)
