What is the Family Violence Risk Assessment and Management Survey?
The Family Violence Risk Assessment and Management Survey (the survey) is a valuable tool to measure how well employees and leaders in framework organisations understand MARAM, and their responsibilities to assess and manage family violence risk. Family Safety Victoria conducts this survey annually. It was previously known as the MARAM Annual Survey.
The survey is anonymous and voluntary. It helps Family Safety Victoria understand:
how well different sectors have aligned their policies and practices with MARAM
whether authorised workforces proactively share information to assess family violence risk and/or promote the safety and wellbeing of children
how the Victorian Government can better support organisations to align to MARAM and use and understand their information sharing powers
What has been achieved so far?
This year, the survey has been redesigned to capture more information about staff confidence in applying MARAM in their day-to-day work. Where previously only organisational leaders were invited to complete the survey, this year’s survey will be open to employees that respond to family violence risk as part of their role, including by sharing information and referring clients to specialist services.
Organisational leaders, and those who have a role in implementing MARAM and information sharing in their organisation, will also be invited to complete the survey.
The survey will be distributed in mid-June 2024.
