Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC)

The Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) is a monthly risk management meeting where professionals share information on high risk cases of domestic violence and abuse and put in place a risk management plan. 

Aims

The MARAC aims to: 

• Share information to increase the safety, health, and well-being of victims/survivors - adults and their children
• Determine whether the alleged perpetrator poses a significant risk to any particular individual or to the general community
• Construct jointly and implement a risk management plan that provides professional support to all those at risk and that reduces the risk of harm
• Reduce repeat victimisation
• Improve agency accountability
• Improve support for staff involved in high-risk domestic abuse cases
