The aim of this scoping review is to map the use of the FL-DOORS (Family Law Detection of Overall Risk Screen) screening tool in the context of family law disputes in Australia and Sweden, and to assess its applicability in Czech social and legal child protection. The FL-DOORS tool was developed in Australia as a three-level system for the early detection of risk factors in families, with an emphasis on child safety, the occurrence of domestic violence, and the mental health of parents. In Sweden, this tool was piloted in interdisciplinary projects that highlighted its potential and limitations, particularly in the expert interview phase. The overview...
