Sharing immigration information – guidance for Maracs
Advice on how to protect victims with insecure immigration status through the proportionate sharing of information at Marac.
Marac toolkit for racially minoritised services
A handy guide with template forms which explain how the Marac process works, how to attend and how to refer.
This practical toolkit has been created to support professionals working with services supporting refugees and racially minoritised victims and survivors, 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.
Having specialist knowledge and input at the Marac from services supporting refugees and racially minoritised survivors ensures that complexities and cultural issues that might apply in cases of intimate partner violence and extended family violence are more likely to be addressed through a robust and effective safety plan. If you do not have the resources to attend Marac regularly, you may wish to work with another agency such as the Idva to take your information to the meeting.
