The Domestic Abuse Support Champions' Scheme is aimed at
workers who wish to support people reporting domestic abuse. The
Support Champion receives resources, training and updates on
domestic abuse issues.

Multi Agency Risk Assessment Conferences (MARACs) are meetings
to share information, risk manage and action plan high risk
domestic abuse cases.
MARACs are held on the first Wednesday of every month and there
is provision to hold an emergency MARAC if the situation
warrants it. During the meeting cases are discussed by up to 20
agencies all of which may have vital information or support which
they can provide to the case.
If you have a GCSx or CJSM secure email account and you want a
referral form or you need to discuss making a referral,
contact the
MARAC
co-ordinator. In an emergency or if you do not
have a secure email account, contact the police on 0845
4567000 and ask for North Somerset Domestic Abuse
Investigation Team (DAIT).
