It is for local representatives in Northern Ireland who are involved with the strategic work of a Marac, primarily Marac Chairs, Marac Administrators/Coordinators and Domestic Violence Coordinators. This pack should be used in conjunction with the Marac Administration Templates 2012. There are also Marac toolkits for frontline agency professionals involved in risk identification work, as well as Marac representatives, chairs and co-ordinators.

For Marac professionals located outside Northern Ireland see Marac governance templates.

This pack contains templates for the documentation supporting strategic aspects of a Marac in Northern Ireland. The templates align with the 10 Principles of an effective Marac , in particular principle five (research and information sharing) and principle ten (governance). We believe the 10 principles promote good practice in and around the Marac to ensure that victims of domestic abuse receive a consistent, safety-focused service wherever they are based whilst allowing for local differences in practice.

The Marac Operating Protocol checklist and the Information Sharing Protocol checklist can be used as guides for developing Marac documentation.
