MARAC/MAPPA

MARAC

Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conferences (MARAC) enable organisations such as the police, probation, the county council, prison services, housing and health services work together to provide a coordinated and effective safety plan for those individuals at the highest risk of domestic abuse or staff working with individuals who are being abused.

MAPPA

Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) require the police, probation and prison services to protect the public from violent and sexual offenders, by working together. It also requires other public organisations such as the local authority, hospitals, district councils and health trusts to cooperate with the police, probation and prison services and contribute to providing safety to the public. It has been in existence in England and Wales since 2001.
