Multi-Agency Risk Assessment
Conferences (MARAC)
• Information is shared on the highest risk domestic
abuse cases between representatives of local police,
health, child protection, housing practitioners,
Independent Domestic Violence Advisors (IDVAs),
probation and other specialists from the statutory and
voluntary sectors.
• After sharing all relevant information they have about a
victim, the representatives discuss options for
increasing the safety of the victim and turn these into a
co-ordinated action plan. The primary focus of the
MARAC is to safeguard the adult victim.
