The SAPROF is an assessment tool for the evaluation of Protective Factors. It is a structured professional judgment checklist designed to be used in combination with risk-focused tools like the HCR-20. The addition of the structured assessment of protective factors aims to complement the risk assessment process creating a more balanced assessment for future violence risk. The dynamic factors of the SAPROF are helpful in case formulation, establishing positive treatment goals, evaluating treatment progress and stimulating well-informed risk communication. In doing so, protective factors enable a more positive approach to violence prevention.
This workshop will focus on the value of protective factors for clinical practice. Participants will be introduced to the SAPROF and will be trained in using the SAPROF in combination with the HCR-20 or related instruments. Advantages for risk assessment and risk management will be discussed and new research results with the SAPROF will be presented.
This workshop is aimed at: •Practitioners and those working in the development of
practice, who have a good understanding of structured professional risk assessment. The SAPROF is designed to complement the HCR-20 and will be of particular interest to those practitioners familiar with this method
•Practitioners whose roles involve the preparation of violence risk assessments
•Practitioners whose roles involve the preparation and/or delivery of risk management plans
