MARAC – Multi-Agency Risk Assessment

Conferences

The ‘MARAC’ is an information sharing and action planning meeting for victims of domestic abuse who are at high risk of serious harm or homicide.

The meeting is between representatives of local police, probation, health, children’s services, adult services, housing officers, IDVA’s and other representatives from the statutory and voluntary sectors.  They will work together to develop a coordinated safety plan to increase the safety of the victim and any associated children/vulnerable adults.  The victim does not attend the meeting but is represented by an IDVA who advocates for them.
