Marac toolkit for probation

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 Probation professionals and professionals working in community rehabilitation companies 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.

The Marac seeks to protect those who are at high risk of being seriously injured or killed from further abuse. Clearly, part of this response relates to the management of the perpetrator. The information shared at the Marac by probation is crucial when drawing up the safest and most effective risk management plan for the offender both in terms of the pre-sentence report and subsequent licence conditions or community sentence requirements.
