It is important that you complete the risk screen yourself. Your legal representative should not complete the risk screen for you.
The Family DOORS Triage questionnaire is an opportunity to identify any concerns you might hold for yourself and your family. The risk screen questionnaire asks a series of preliminary questions to identify multiple risk factors upon commencement of proceedings.
All of the questions seek a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answer and do not require any specific detail or examples. As such we encourage parties to answer the questions as best as they can in relation to their circumstances and from their last interaction with the other party and/or child/children.
Once you have completed the Family DOORS Triage questionnaire, your responses will be assessed by the specialised Lighthouse Team and your matter will be referred to the most appropriate case management pathway. You will be offered safety planning and service referrals as part of the questionnaire process and may be invited to attend a telephone interview with a Triage Counsellor, depending on any safety or wellbeing concerns you identify when completing the questionnaire.
