Abstract

The Contextualised Assessment Tool for Risk and Protection Management (CAT-RPM) has been established as a valid and reliable tool for differentiating groups across age, sex and behaviour and assisting young people to find their strengths [Bower, J., A. Carroll, and A. Ashman. 2014. "The Development and Validation of the Contextualised Assessment Tool for Risk and Protection Management (CAT-RPM)." Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment. doi:10.1177/0734282913497782]. The aims of this article are (i) to report the calculations used in the CAT-RPM report to separate out risk and protection scores; and (ii) to explore the application of the CAT-RPM report in an inclusive school setting to promote strengths and reduce risk for unique individuals. Three examples will be used to demonstrate how data, collected with the CAT-RPM, can be used to identify the combination of risk and protection using the CAT-RPM report. A fourth more detailed example will explore one potential application of the CAT-RPM report in a strengths-based approach to assist one young person to find her strongest contexts and fortify strengths to move towards personal, social and emotional well-being.
