MARAC Risk Indicator & Referral Form

Overview

This is the London Borough of Redbridge's Online MARAC Risk Indicator & Referral Form. Please continue if you would like to refer an individual to the Redbridge MARAC (Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference).

We all have a duty of care to report any children or vulnerable adults who may be affected by domestic abuse. Referrals should be completed to the following services if there is a safeguarding concern:

Adult social care (opens in new window)
Children's social care (opens in new window)

Before completing this form for the first time we recommend that you read the full MARAC Referral Guidance and Frequently Asked Questions and Answers

We recommend that you complete the risk indicator checklist prior to completing the victim’s details as only high-risk cases can be referred to MARAC. A high-risk case is identified by 14 'yes' responses on the risk indicator checklist.
If there are less than 14 ‘yes’ responses you should only refer to MARAC if:
- There is potential Escalation: the number of police callouts to the victim as a result of domestic violence in the past 12 months. This can be used to identify cases where there is not a positive identification of a majority of the risk factors on the list, but where abuse appears to be escalating and where it is appropriate to assess the situation more fully by sharing information at MARAC. It is common practice to start with 3 or more police callouts in a 12 month period. This will be reviewed depending on local volume and level of police reporting in Redbridge.
- It is a Honour Based Violence, Forced Marriage, Female Genital Mutilation, Teenage Pregnancy.
- In your Professional Judgement the case needs to be discussed at MARAC. Please state the reason why on referral form within practitioner’s notes.
- The case has previously been discussed at MARAC in the last 12 months and a repeat incident has occurred.
- A Clare’s Law disclosure request.
Continue to complete the remainder of the MARAC referral form if the victim fulfils the MARAC Criteria.
If you do refer a client, you will be invited to attend the next MARAC in order to present why you deem the client to be high risk.
Information Sharing: It is always preferable to obtain the clients consent to take a case to MARAC and due to the new GDPR guidelines it is essential for our advocacy service to be able to make contact if previously unknown.
Emergency MARAC: If you think an Emergency MARAC should be called then please contact the MARAC Coordinator on telephone number 0208 708 5082 immediately.
For further queries contact: MARAC@redbridge.gov.uk

If you have a client which is NOT deemed high risk but wishes to receive support, please complete the Reach Out referral form.
