Guidance and Utility for Advocates and Responders in Domestic-Abuse Intervention and Abuse Networks

Guardian is a complimentary resource designed for professionals to aid in the management of domestic abuse cases and the identification of associated risks. By streamlining efficiency, ensuring that risks are promptly identified, accentuated, and presented with clarity. In alignment with the commitment to confidentiality, no information is retained post-assessment. Please make use of the save function upon completion of your evaluation.

Essential Guidelines for Guardian Professional Tools:

♦ Comprehensive Assessment: Approach the DASH-DF (Digital Format) with the thoroughness of a paper-based DASH risk assessment. Endeavor to incorporate comprehensive details to enhance the evaluation’s precision.

♦ Privacy Feature: The DASH-DF and Tec-Abuse Analysis (T-AA) interface includes a privacy feature allowing you to conceal your screen during the assessment process. This can be activated by pressing the designated ‘F4 key’, ensuring additional confidentiality when necessary.

♦ Data Non-Retention: To uphold stringent security standards, information inputted into DASH-DF is not stored. Users are encouraged to employ the save function or take a screenshot for record-keeping. For heightened security, refrain from using identifiable names. Instead, opt for generic terms such as ‘survivor’, ‘victim’, ‘perpetrator’, ‘suspect’, or ‘offender’.
