What is the MARAM maturity model?
The MARAM maturity model (the Model) will be a key supporting resource of the MARAM Framework. The Model will provide a means for organisations to assess their level of progress in achieving alignment. It will sit alongside the MARAM Practice Guidance and Organisational Embedding Guide, which supports organisations to understand what steps they should take to align with MARAM and provide guidance on risk assessment and management responsibilities.
What has been achieved so far?
Since the last update, human-centred design consultant Paper Giant has built on early material developed by FSV, finalised research activities and co-designed maturity model resources, based on consultations with eight Sector Champion organisations:
- Bendigo Health
- Bethany Community Services
- Caraniche
- EACH
- Early Childhood Australia
- Safe Steps
- Victorian Aboriginal Health Service
- the Youth Support and Advocacy Service
The 8 sector champions were engaged through interviews, questionnaires and workshops by Paper Giant and FSV’s internal project team.
Three tools have now been produced as a result of these activities:
- MARAM maturity model on a page
- MARAM maturity model roadmap
- Interactive self-assessment and action planner
What is happening now?
The usability of these tools will be tested through a pilot led in partnership with the Principal Strategic Advisors (PSA) from the Eastern Metropolitan Regional Family Violence Partnership and Primary Care Connect (auspice agency for Goulburn Integrated Family Violence Committee). The tools to support organisations with their MARAM alignment will be tested through, a variety of methods including s workshops and communities of practice. The pilot also aims to build multi-agency collaborative practice and assess the MARAM maturity model’s effectiveness, including artifacts and tools as part of its development.
