Video: Family Violence Risk Assessment and Management
Join Magistrate Thérèse McCarthy, Supervising Magistrate for Family Violence and Personal Safety, for a presentation on acting ethically for parties in Family Violence related matters in the Magistrates’ Court - understanding the Court's approach to Family Violence risk assessment and management.
All major headquarter courts within the Magistrates’ Court are now Specialist Family Violence Courts as of 2024. But what is a risk assessment? When the Court refers to something as high risk and what are the reasons why? How do practitioners working with parties in family violence proceedings work to mitigate risk to family members or speak about risk? How do legal practitioners balance the duty to the Court and to the client and engage in effective advocacy?
This session will use some common submissions made by practitioners and suggest some alternatives that conform with the paramount duty to the Court and the administration of justice.
