SafeCare, which has been operating since 1989, provides counseling, support, and group therapy to child sexual abuse offenders who acknowledge their offending and voluntarily enter treatment. Therapeutic services are also provided to the victim and other family members. Occasionally the parties attending SafeCare are involved in Family Court proceedings, and the child representative or lawyer for one of the parties requests that SafeCare conduct a risk assessment. Some of the benefits of a risk assessment in the context of a therapeutic program are more detailed diagnostic observations and an assessment of progress in treatment, the use of a team approach in the assessment of each family member, the monitoring of the response of children to supervised or unsupervised contact with the offending parent, and therapeutic intervention and mediation with couples. The difficulties encountered by SafeCare in conducting risk assessments for the Family Court include lack of time and resources, lawyers' perception of conflict of interest due to the assessment of all family members, and the perception that the approach is too subjective and is inappropriate in the context of a treatment regimen. The benefits and difficulties of the SafeCare approach to risk assessment for Family Court are still emerging; however, it does hold promise for improvement in risk assessment and the protection of children.
