Multi-agency risk assessment conference (MARAC)

A monthly meeting where professionals share information on high risk cases of domestic violence and abuse.

What is MARAC?

MARAC is a monthly meeting where professionals share information on high risk cases of domestic violence and abuse.

The MARAC aims to:

  • share information to help protect victims/survivors, adults and their children
  • determine whether the alleged perpetrator poses a major risk to any individual or to the general community
  • construct together and rollout a risk management plan that offers professional support to all those at risk and reduces the risk of harm
  • reduce repeat victimisation
  • improve agency accountability
  • improve support for staff involved in high-risk domestic abuse cases

SafeLives (previously known as CAADA) provides general information on MARACs and quality assures MARACs nationwide.
