A workshop for front line practitioners working with families and individuals impacted by domestic abuse and Harmful Practices (HBA).
About this Event

This workshop is aimed at front line practitioners who are working in Southampton with families and individuals impacted by domestic abuse and harmful practices such as HBA. It provides a detailed review of the Domestic Abuse, Stalking and Honour-Based violence (DASH) risk assessment tool used by police and partner agencies to identify the level and type(s) of risk someone is facing, and to refer high-risk cases to Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conferences (MARAC). The workshop will also include an overview of the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) referral process and explanation of recent changes to HRDA/MARAC in Southampton.

Relate DASH risk assessment to the homicide and suicide timelines
