MARAC training

Our MARAC training equips professionals with the knowledge and skills to support effective multi-agency risk assessment conferences, enhance victim safeguarding, and strengthen links across wider safeguarding processes.

Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conferences (MARACs) play a vital role in protecting victims of domestic abuse who are at the highest risk of serious harm. Effective MARACs rely on strong leadership, informed decision-making and meaningful multi-agency collaboration to improve safety outcomes through a coordinated, victim-centred response. 

 

Our MARAC training programmes are designed to support both those who lead MARACs and those who represent agencies within them. Whether you are chairing meetings, coordinating activity, or contributing as an agency representative, these courses will help you understand your role, strengthen multi-agency working and improve outcomes for victims and their families.
