Child and young person MARAM practice guides

Guidance for working with children and young people experiencing family violence and young people using family violence.

The Child and young person MARAM practice guides provide guidance for identifying, assessing and managing family violence risk, and identifying and responding to wellbeing needs and suicide risk when working with children and young people experiencing family violence and young people using family violence.

The Comprehensive guidance (Responsibilities 7 and 8) for working with children and young people will not be published online. The guidance is shared directly with peak bodies, specialist perpetrator intervention services, specialist victim survivor family violence services, adolescents using family violence in the home programs and key professionals in community and government departments with specialist roles in the coordination of family violence risk assessment and management.
