About

The Scottish Government awarded a contract to Protect International Risk and Safety Services for the SARA-V3 licence, valued at £55,000.

The SARA tool, licensed since 2010, enables all Scottish Local Authorities and the Scottish Prison Service to assess domestic abuse perpetrators for risk management plans and offender management, including supervision requirements and intervention programme suitability.

The Public Protection Unit sponsors and has policy oversight for the Caledonian System, an accredited intervention for men convicted of domestic abuse, with services for women and children victims.

19 Scottish Local Authority areas deliver the Caledonian System on a court-mandated basis, covering over 60% of all Scottish Local Authorities.

The SARA V3 tool, owned by Protect International, is a key component of risk assessment within the Caledonian System and is also used in areas where the Caledonian System is not available but another rehabilitation programme is used.

Caledonian workers and workers from other assessment programmes collate information on offending behaviour, perpetrator risk factors, and victim vulnerability factors, which is documented in the SARA tool to help make meaningful statements regarding risk and assist in creating case management plans to manage offender risk.
