CAADA DASH RIC (Risk Identification Checklist) and Risk Management Pathways for Devon
Guidance for Standard Risk following completion of the adva & CAADA DASH RIC
If you have ticked between 0 - 5 ‘yes’ boxes or it is your professional judgement that this is a ‘Standard Risk’ case you are dealing with, the case would currently meet the Standard Risk criteria.
A reminder about ‘Standard Risk’:
‘Standard Risk’: While risk indicators may be present, it is deemed neither imminent, nor serious. Explain that nobody needs to live with domestic violence and abuse and that there is support out there. It is important to remember that risk is dynamic and should be monitored. It is also important to stress that the police can and should be contacted in an emergency. Hand out the adva 'Home is Where the Hurt is' 
(28KB - pdf help) domestic abuse services leaflet with appropriate contact numbers for your area and ask the person to keep you informed about their safety.
‘Standard Risk’ = Professional judgement and / or the number of ‘ticks’ on this CAADA DASH checklist. If you have ticked 0 – 5 ‘yes’ boxes the case would currently meet the ‘Standard Risk’ criteria.
