Practitioner datasets

Access our latest national datasets for services supporting domestic abuse victims across the UK

Since 2009 SafeLives has gathered, analysed and published data from services supporting domestic abuse victims across the UK. This process gives us a national picture of the experiences of domestic abuse victims, survivors and their children, enabling us to make the case for funding and to influence change.

Our Insights system provides the largest dataset on domestic abuse in the UK. We regularly publish datasets on Idva services, outreach services, children accessing domestic abuse services and sexual violence services. We also publish briefing papers to support the data.

Marac data is data submitted to SafeLives, by around 290 individual Maracs, on a quarterly basis. Each quarter the data is collated and published to create the national dataset shown below. We also provide guidance to Maracs on how to submit their data.
