MARAC (for professionals)

The Marac is a regular conference, which focuses on helping victims at high risk of murder or serious harm. A domestic abuse specialist (IGVA) represents the victim/survivor, police, children’s social services, health and other relevant agencies all sit around the same table. They talk about the victim, the family and perpetrator, and share information. The meeting is confidential. 

Together the meeting writes an action plan for each victim. They work best when everyone involved understands their roles and the right processes to follow. 

 

The Barking and Dagenham MARAC runs every week. Please encourage your client to consent to a referral to Refuge at the same time. You do not need consent to refer to MARAC.
