Marac toolkit for fire and rescue services

This practical toolkit has been created to support fire and rescue professionals to:

• understand how the Marac process works and the role their agency plays at the meeting
• make effective referrals to Marac using the Dash risk identification checklist
• prepare for attending a Marac meeting.

Through a coordinated response from all agencies the Marac will seek to protect those who are suffering domestic abuse and are at high risk of being seriously injured or killed from further abuse. The information that the Fire and Rescue Service holds is unique and, when shared at Marac, could be invaluable to the safety of victims. It could also help you to meet your Public Service Agreement targets for the reduction of fire deaths and arson.
