Details

To get proof that police, doctors and social services have set up a MARAC (Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference) plan to protect you from abuse:

You can use the evidence of the plan when you apply for legal aid to divorce or separate from an abusive partner.

If you’re a member of a MARAC dealing with victims of domestic violence, you can adapt this sample letter to respond to requests for evidence of a protection plan.

You need to give evidence when victims of domestic violence apply for legal aid.
