Ensuring Excellence

DVACT-PAI has built a solid reputation for providing high quality assessments and bringing much needed expertise to the family court arena.  The combination of professionalism, high standards and specialist knowledge is reflected in the first and only UK Register for Expert Domestic Abuse Risk Assessors. 

 

The Professional Standards Authority (PSA) has recently announced that DVACT-PAI has passed Stage 1 of its accreditation process, announcing in May 2026 that the provisions in DVACT-PAI’s Standards in Expert Assessments place great emphasis on evidence-based assessment, sound professional judgment, and a focus on ethics and safeguarding. 

 

Choosing a DVACT-PAI registered assessor provides assurance that the professional:

​

  • Will prioritise child safety and wellbeing

  • Has verified qualifications and extensive specific experience in the field of domestic abuse

  • Demonstrates the required competence and good character to complete domestic abuse assessments for the family courts
