FRAME
The Framework for Risk Assessment, Management and Evaluation (FRAME) outlines the agreed policy approach between justice agencies in Scotland to risk assessment and risk management.
It articulates the agreed values, guiding principles, and standards that should underpin the work of criminal justice agencies who are involved in the assessment and management of risk posed by those who are involved in offending behaviour.
FRAME aims to develop a consistent and evidence based approach to risk practice which applies across all agencies and individuals who offend. The framework, developed in collaboration with justice agencies, proposes a tiered and proportionate approach which supports practice at minimal, comprehensive and intensive levels.
