Join MI-ATSA for an all-day training on the Risk of Sexual Abuse of Children (ROSAC) structured risk assessment tool that aids in the determination of whether a particular adult male sexual abuser is at risk to harm a particular child, including under what circumstances that risk exists.

From his website (http://robertmcgrath.us/index.php/risk-instruments/rosac/), the following are situations in which the ROSAC may be helpful:

• A child protective services (CPS) agency is investigating a report that a sexual abuser is now living with a family that has children and the agency must determine the risk of sexual harm to the child and develop an intervention plan.
• A probation officer must determine whether to grant a probationer’s request to live in a home with children. The probationer was previously convicted of committing a sexual offense.
• A mental health professional, CPS agency, probation department, and victim advocate are collaborating to determine whether to reunite a family in which the father sexually abused one of his children.

Learning Objectives

1. 1. Describe the theoretical and research basis for the ROSAC
   2. Describe how the ROSAC is constructed and scored
   3. Learn how to score and use the ROSAC to make risk determinations
   4. Learn how to use ROSAC risk determinations to develop basic safety plans
