Domestic abuse and MARAC referrals

How to refer for support, including the completion of a risk indicator checklist.

First, you must complete a Safe Lives DASH risk assessment. If the score is:

  • 14 or above, a MARAC referral is required
  • less than 14, but there are significant concerns in your professional judgement, a MARAC form is required, with your concerns identified
  • less than 14, complete the domestic abuse referral form

Information on how to send these referrals is contained within the referral forms attached to this page.
