This workshop will provide an opportunity to learn new skills and build on existing skills in assessing and managing risk for intimate partner violence. Intimate partner violence is one of the most common forms of violence and is potentially lethal. Considering the pervasive and serious nature of this problem, it is critical that professionals engage in best practices when assessing and managing risk for intimate partner violence to prevent future tragedies. This one-day training event focuses on the Spousal Assault Risk Assessment Version 3 (SARAv3; Kropp et al., 2015) is designed for professionals with some background training and knowledge of risk assessment, for instance you may be a user of HCR-20v3 or RSVP/SVR-20 or be attending another of our risk courses. The SARA-V3 is an evidence-based decision support tool for assessing and managing risk for intimate partner violence. The third version of the SARA, released in 2015, incorporates all the recent advances in SPJ risk assessment. The SARA has been subjected to scientific evaluation, translated into numerous languages, and used in dozens of countries. The primary aim of the workshop is to ensure that delegates feel confident when assessing clients using the SARAv3 and to develop awareness of how risk management plans can be formulated. A certificate will be provided for evidence of attendance at this workshop, which may contribute to continuing professional development (CPD).
