MARAM Practice Note Update: Resource for working with adolescents using family violence and their families, during coronavirus (COVID-19) period

The Centre recently undertook work with FSV to develop this resource for professionals who might be working with adolescents who use family violence during COVID-19. For practitioners working in child and family and specialist family violence services already engaged with families, this guide supports engagement with parents and carers during home isolation. For workers from various service sectors including child protection, education, health, youth justice, mental health, homelessness and police, this guide promotes visibility of adolescent family violence, identifies key risk factors and supports families to seek intervention with specialist services

MARAM Practice Guide for professionals working with adolescents who use violence in the home (Currently under development)

The MARAM Practice Guide for Professionals Working with Adolescents who Use Violence in the Home (the Practice Guide) will form one part of a broader set of initiatives funded by FSV to raise awareness among professionals who work with adolescents who use violence in the home. It sits within a suite of other guidance materials relating to MARAM. The Practice Guide is aimed at professionals who either work directly or come into contact with adolescents who use violence in the home and will be targeted at all workforces that have requirements under MARAM.

Sector consultations to inform Practice Guide (under development)

To gain useful insight into various service sectors, the Centre will facilitate a series of consultation sessions with key stakeholders, to make sure the content of the Practice Guide is relevant, accessible, and informed by the best available evidence (drawn from research, practitioner expertise and client perspectives). This series of ‘snapshots’ gives a brief summary of what we heard from each sector.
