25. MARAC is a process that screens victims at very high risk of repeat victimisation. MARAC groups exist in some parts of the country and are made up of representation from the police, NHS, social work and education. These groups share information across agencies, identify the level of risk from the perpetrator and produce multi-agency safety plans to reduce the risks to victims and any children.
