-
75% of people who endure domestic abuse are targeted at work

2% lose their jobs as a direct result of abuse

56% of those living with abuse are frequently late for work

58% miss at least 3 days work per month due to abuse

what is
marac?
MARAC stands for Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference. MARACs are multi-agency meetings where those identified as at high risk of serious harm or homicide are referred to.
MARACs are attended by representatives from a range of agencies that includes; police, health services, child protection, housing, domestic abuse advisers, probation, mental health and substance misuse specialists. Relevant and proportionate information is shared about the current risks to identify actions (Risk Management Plan) to increase the safety and wellbeing of the victim and any other vulnerable parties, eg children.
The trainer was really knowledgeable and I learnt so much about the complexities of domestic abuse and the purpose of the MARAC
