This on-demand professional training program on Violence Triage Overview is presented by Kelly A. Watt, PhD, in partnership with Protect International Risk and Safety Services.
This program provides a brief overview of Violence Triage. Violence Triage was developed to assist professionals and workplaces in fulfilling their professional obligations under statutory law, common law, and professional codes of ethics to screen for and respond to warning signs related to violence risk.
Violence Triage helps professionals and workplaces to make immediate decisions about receiving and assessing information concerning warning signs for violence risk, develop an action plan for resolution, and meet organizational reporting requirements. By using an evidence-based process to make these decisions, workplaces will protect themselves from potential liability and others from future harm.
