EARL – Early Assessment Risk List, Version 3
The EARL-V3 (Early Assessment Risk List, Version 3) is a structured professional judgment tool designed to assess the risk of disruptive behaviour in children under 12.
Developed by the Child Development Institute in Toronto, Canada, this evidence-based assessment has been refined through over 20 years of research and practical application.
Our comprehensive training equips professionals with the skills to conduct reliable risk assessments, enabling timely and appropriate interventions to prevent future antisocial behaviors.
What the course involves
This interactive two-day course combines theoretical knowledge with practical exercises. Participants will learn the history, purpose, and application of the EARL-V3, including detailed walkthroughs of each risk factor.
The training emphasises cultural and gender sensitivity, ensuring assessments are fair and inclusive. Participants will practice scoring a fictitious case, developing treatment plans, and understanding how to utilize EARL-V3 results for clinical decision-making.
