Saskatchewan Common Assessment Protocol for Intimate Partner Violence/Abuse (SK CAP)

The Saskatchewan Common Assessment Protocol for Intimate Partner Violence and Abuse (SK CAP; PATHS, 2026) includes Backgrounders, Practice Tools, and Practice Guides to assist generalist and intimate partner violence and abuse (IPVA) specialist services in identifying people who are using or experiencing violence, evaluating risk, and supporting victims/survivors in planning for safety.

The SK CAP is available in one PDF document; the Backgrounders, Practice Tools, and Practice Guides are also available individually.

The Saskatchewan Risk Indicator Checklist (RIC) is a fillable, online tool; completing the RIC results in an individualized risk report and Saskatchewan Safety Planning Guide.

The online, asynchronous training module accompanies the SK CAP.

PATHS and project partners Family Service Regina and Family Service Saskatoon created the SK CAP. This project (November 2024- March 2026) was funded by Community Safety and Well-Being, Saskatchewan Ministry of Justice and Attorney General under the National Action Plan to End Gender-Based Violence.
