Marac in Scotland

For the past 15 years Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conferences (Marac) have transformed the multi-agency response to domestic abuse across Scotland.  As of August 2022, Marac is operating in all 32 Scottish local authorities – a major milestone meaning a victim at high risk of harm can expect to receive a coordinated response to their risk, no matter where they are in Scotland.

SafeLives have been supporting Scottish Maracs through the Marac Development Programme (MDP) since 2015, supporting local areas to embed the evaluated Marac model and develop a national framework to improve and enhance the multi-agency response to domestic abuse in Scotland.

This event will mark the milestone of full Marac coverage, as well as an opportunity to reflect on the past 15 years of Marac development, celebrate best practice and consider what the next steps for ongoing development at a local and national level are.

We’re pleased to have Christina McKelvie, Minister for Equality and Older People, attend and address the event, alongside other guest speakers, including members of SafeLives Authentic Voice Panel – a panel of survivors from across Scotland. Further speakers and agenda to be announced soon.
