A secure collaborative environment for the highest-risk abuse cases
Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conferences (MARACs) bring together representatives from a range of support agencies to share information and develop action plans on the highest-risk cases – to reduce the risk of serious domestic abuse and sexual violence cases.
As well as safeguarding the victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence cases and managing the perpetrators’ behaviour, MARAC professionals need to effectively collaborate with each other to maximise outcomes.
MARAC’s need to overcome all obstacles faced including improving performance, agreeing protocols, and ensuring identification and referral of high-risk cases in a timely way. MARAC Case Management is a comprehensive software system designed to support the efficient and effective management of cases discussed at MARAC meetings. The system enables multiple agencies to collaborate and share information to assess and manage the risks faced by victims of domestic abuse and sexual violence cases.
