The MARAC aims to:
SafeLives provides general information on MARACs and quality assures MARACs nationwide.
The MARAC is chaired by a Detective Inspector and is coordinated by the Community Safety Partnership.
The MARAC meets on a monthly basis on the third Wednesday of every month. All MARAC referrals must be submitted by 5pm on the first Wednesday of every month.
All participating agencies sign up to an Information-sharing and the Operating Protocol, which set out the meetings' process. Participating agencies include representatives of statutory services such as the Police, Probation and Children’s and Adult’s Services, as well as voluntary and community organisations.
Any agency invited to attend the MARAC on a case-by-case basis is required to sign up to these protocols.
There are currently four criteria for referring a case to MARAC:

If you need advice on completing the forms or any other aspects of the MARAC process, you can speak to the MARAC coordinator. Please contact the Community Safety team to request a call back.
This leaflet for victim/survivors(pdf, 1316KB) explains what the MARAC does. The MARAC coordinator has hard copies if required.
To support agencies and staff participating in the MARAC, the Community Safety Partnership facilitates a free two day training course in Domestic Abuse and MARAC, which can be booked through Adult Social Care Training. Training can also be organised on a team-by-team basis. If you are not sure how to book the training, please contact the Community Safety team for advice.
