It is important your client completes the risk screen themself. You should not complete the risk screen for your client.
However, you may offer assistance to complete the risk screen.
Please be mindful that your level of assistance to your client, in respect to completing the risk screen, is limited to helping them to understand the questions being asked only.
Please note that for your client to access the benefits of the questionnaire and to enable the Court to provide assistance with the case management pathway and with any support needs identified, the questionnaire is best answered by your client to adequately reflect their situation and circumstances. Legal practitioners are asked to refrain from guiding their clients in respect to their responses/ or answers to the questions.
The Court is grateful for your assistance in ensuring your client has access to the questionnaire and for encouraging your client to complete the questionnaire.
See Lighthouse - Frequently Asked Questions for further information about risk screening.
