The Intersectional Risk Tracking Tool (IRTT) is a specialist, practice-based framework designed to strengthen risk assessment through an intersectional, anti-oppressive lens.

​

Developed by We Are Frieda CIC, the IRTT is designed to move beyond single-axis approaches to risk and recognise that abuse does not occur in isolation or in a vacuum, but instead it is shaped by power, identity, systems, and history. 

​

The tool supports practitioners to identify and monitor risk as it intersects with:

​

• Physical and mental health

• Substance use and coping strategies

• Gender identity and sexuality

• Race, racialisation and racial trauma

• Cultural stereotypes and controlling images

• Economic precarity and housing insecurity

• Immigration status and state-based vulnerability

• Criminalisation and institutional harm

• Minority stress and social exclusion

• Visibility of injury across different skin tones

• Reproductive coercion and pregnancy-related risk

​

​

The IRTT is not created as a replacement for professional judgement, or other forms of standardised risk assessment, instead it is intended to function as a support mechanism for both of these combined.

​

​

The IRTT is delivered through a modular quarterly training programme.

​

Practitioners complete the Foundations session before selecting specialist factor deep-dives aligned to their practice needs.

​

Each quarter includes repeat delivery of high-demand risk areas including physical health, racial trauma, pregnancy and reproductive coercion, and structural harm.

 

All sessions are bookable individually via Eventbrite.
