This workshop is aimed at front line practitioners who are working in Southampton with families and individuals impacted by domestic abuse. 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.
