MARAC Guidance

The documents outline the framework for Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conferences (MARAC) in Newcastle, which address high-risk domestic abuse cases through collaboration among statutory, community, and voluntary agencies.

MARAC aims to protect victims and children by sharing information, assessing risks, and creating tailored safety plans to reduce harm and prevent repeat victimisation. The processes involve referrals based on the DASH Risk Indicator Checklist, consent considerations, and structured protocols for meetings and follow-ups.

The guidance highlights the importance of safeguarding, accountability, and a coordinated approach to managing domestic abuse cases effectively.
