What MARAM tools are in TRAM and SHIP?
Tools for Risk Assessment and Management (TRAM) has been developed by Family Safety Victoria as an online platform for use across the service system. The TRAM platform contains the adult and child victim survivor MARAM risk assessments and safety plan, Comprehensive Adult Using Family Violence assessment tool, Predominant Aggressor Identification tool.
In future it will host the remainder of the MARAM resources, currently in development. This platform is used across The Orange Door network and by several community agencies.
FSV supports new services wanting to adopt the use of TRAM to support their risk assessment and management practice. FSV runs onboarding and training sessions with agency leaders and practitioners on how to use TRAM.
If agencies want to discuss TRAM or adopt its use, please contact the TRAM team at tram@familysafety.vic.gov.au(opens in a new window).
Family Safety Victoria also oversees the development of the MARAM risk assessment and management tools into the Specialist Homelessness Information Platform (SHIP). SHIP contains the adult and child victim survivor MARAM risk assessments and safety plan. MARAM tools in both these online platforms support services in their alignment to MARAM.
What additional MARAM tools are coming to the online platforms?
The Predominant Aggressor Identification Tool will be released into SHIP in the coming months for use by Specialist Family Violence Services. The tool provides a structure to support the accurate identification of the predominant aggressor, using information sharing, direct assessment, and structured analysis. Agencies who use SHIP will be provided with information relating to this release shortly.
FSV are also scoping the addition of the Identification and Intermediate Adults Using Family Violence assessment tools into SHIP.
The TRAM platform is currently undergoing a security upgrade to ensure client information remains secure and confidential. This will also result in a new and cleaner look for TRAM which will be released to The Orange Door and other agencies in June 2024. Training sessions and updated user guidance will be provided to TRAM users in preparation for the release.
