Guidance for multi-agency forums: LGBT+ people
Learn about LGBT+ victims of domestic abuse and how Maracs can support them.
Marac toolkit for LGBT services
A handy guide with template forms that explains how the process works, how to attend and how to refer
This practical toolkit has been created to support professionals in LGBT services 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.
Specialist LGBT domestic abuse support remains limited in many areas, so the insight and support you may be able to offer is invaluable to the Marac process. Representation of an LGBT voluntary or community organisation at Marac will ensure this co-ordinated effort can be fully informed of the unique needs of LGBT people in terms of risk and appropriate interventions to increase their safety, health and wellbeing.
What’s included
- Introduction
- Frequently asked questions about Marac
- Flowchart on the Marac process
- Quick start guidance to the SafeLives Dash risk identification checklist, as well as the checklist itself
