What is a Marac?

This video explains why Maracs were set up, how they help victims of domestic abuse at high risk of serious harm or murder, and what types of professionals are expected to attend.

The video hears from three different speakers who share their views and experiences in explaining the fundamentals of what a Marac is.

An introduction to risk identification in domestic abuse cases

This video is for professionals who may come into contact with victims of domestic abuse and need to refer an individual to a service or Marac.

It explains the Dash risk model, including how to use the checklist to understand the risk to the victim, and how to identify when a case should be referred to Marac.

The Marac meeting: roles and information sharing

If you have been invited to attend a Marac, this short film will give you an idea of what to expect and how to prepare.

It shows a reconstruction of a typical Marac meeting, explaining the different roles at Marac and the type of information shared about cases during the meeting.

The Marac meeting: action planning

This video shows how a Marac meeting should be followed up with the action planning process.

This is an essential part of the Marac meeting to ensure action points are assigned to each of the risks identified to the victim and their children.
