A RISK MANAGEMENT SCREEN - protecting children and teenagers from sexual abuse.
About Vicpsychplus - exclusively bringing The Diana Screen to Australia
Vicpsychplus has worked collaboratively with Abel Screening Inc. over the last few years to coordinate the delivery of The Diana Screen to Australia.
- The Diana Screen identified with our mission to deliver a risk management tool for organisations affiliated with children.
- Our Organisational vision is to prevent sexual abuse towards children and promote safety and security in organisations affiliated with children.
Vicpsychplus has consulted with a number of leading child protection agencies and leading research bodies in Australia to raise awareness of the implementation of The Diana Screen in Australia. Vicpsychplus has published information through the Child Protection Inquiry in Victoria and conducted an extensive Legal Review on the implementation of The Diana Screen in Australia.
These measures assess both a test taker's understanding of appropriate adult/child sexual boundaries and the probability that a test taker has had sexual contact with a child or teenager.
