SafeLives MARAC action planning toolkit supports professionals in Scotland with practical guidance and resources for high-quality MARAC action planning.

SafeLives Authentic Voice toolkit for MARACs in Scotland helps embed survivor voice, improve domestic abuse responses, and strengthen trauma-informed practice.

Domestic abuse is Scotland’s hidden emergency. Survivors are clear; the upcoming election is a chance to change that.

SafeLives responds to a new joint inspectorate report, setting out why children must be recognised as victims in their own right and why a whole family approach, specialist support and survivor voice are critical to ending domestic abuse.

Domestic abuse meetings that protect victims from serious harm are being pushed to breaking point, a new report from UK charity SafeLives has warned.  

This research report amplifies the voices of professionals in the domestic abuse sector and beyond, highlighting both the system’s strengths and challenges.

No one should die as a result of domestic abuse. DASH was ground-breaking 15 years ago, but it has never had a Government-led review. SafeLives is calling for urgent reform: a survivor co-created, inclusive update of risk pathways backed by training, resources, and multi-agency action. Survivors deserve a system that protects them.
