Domestic Violence Assessment Consultancy and Training

DV-ACT can offer perpetrator and/or victim assessments where sexual offending is a key risk to children. These assessments are undertaken by our specialists in sexual offending and will identify risk management plans where offenders have close contact with a family. Unlike many similar assessments a DV-ACT report will provide a detailed risk management plan and will identify key risk indicators specific to each child who may be exposed to abuse.  

​

Timescales and costs can be provided upon request as it is dependent upon the complexity of the case and the availability of specialist assessors. As a minimum assessments will examine:

●the risk of sexual offending, grooming and exploitation

● history of abuse and the possible impact on the child;
● likelihood of further exposure of the child to abuse;
● parent’s understanding of the impact of the abuse on children and ability to protect;
● static and dynamic risk factors, such as denial of culpability, remorse and victim empathy;
● prognosis for treatment and a risk management plan.

​​

Where there is an urgent need for an overview of risk and/or vulnerability prior to a full report being completed, a preliminary report can be provided that will give an outline of static factors, an indication of dynamic factors and give an early view on treatment suitability and prognosis for change.
