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

Following the Scottish Parliament election on 7th May 2026, SafeLives welcome all newly elected and returning MSPs, and the incoming Scottish Government. We hope, and need, to see increased focus and political attention on the public health emergency that is domestic abuse

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.

We are calling on the next Scottish Government to transform the response to domestic abuse so that every victim-survivor can live free from fear.

Safelives welcomes the Victims, Witnesses and Justice Reform (Scotland) Act 2025, a landmark moment for survivors of domestic abuse and justice reform in Scotland.

A step forward in the journey towards a justice system that responds to the feedback of those working, experiencing and living in it.

The Identification and Referral Pathways training in Scotland will empower practitioners with the confidence to recognise domestic abuse, harm and effectively navigate risk assessment and referral processes.

In this blog we highlight the scale of economic abuse and share the voices of survivors across Scotland and the rest of the UK. You will also find shared research data and the details of relevant support services.
