Home Department written question – answered at on 12 October 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department
(1) what the objectives are for the domestic abuse, stalking and honour-based violence risk identification training for police forces;
(2) what potential benefits she has identified for the participation of criminal justice professionals in the domestic abuse, stalking and honour-based violence risk identification training courses.
The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) accredited the Domestic Abuse, Stalking and Honour Based Violence (DASH) Risk Identification, Assessment and Management Model to be implemented across all police services in the UK from March 2009. Although we understand that the majority of forces currently use DASH it is for individual forces and organisations to decide which risk assessment models to use, what training their officers and staff receive, and the specific objectives and benefits of such training.
