4. Predicting Domestic Violence: Spousal Assault Risk Assessment (SARA)

The Spousal Assault Risk Assessment Guide (SARA) is a checklist designed to screen for risk factors of spousal or family-related assault.

Training on this instrument is by way a 1-day workshop. However, the workshop assumes that the delegate has received training and is proficient on other structured professional guides, such as the HCR-20.

The workshop will cover:

• how to score the individual items of the SARA,

• how to prorate and present the information from the items, and

• how to interpret the scores.

The empirical evidence for the efficacy of the SARA in different populations and settings is reviewed.

The participants also score a case via a prepared clinical vignette.

Attendance is open to professionals from a wide range of disciplines – though prior training and knowledge of structured professional guides such as the HCR20 is required.
