HaltonKnowsleyLiverpoolDrowning Prevention Week takes place from 17 to 24 June 2023 Drowning Prevention Week (DPW) is one of the largest summer water safety campaigns across the UK and Ireland. Starting in May, through the summer, the risk to the public through accidental drowning increases significantly - DPW is critical in raising awareness and encouraging the public to enjoy water safely. Liverpool Safeguarding Partnership Board resolution and escalation procedure SeftonAs members of Sefton’s Domestic Abuse Partnership Board I wanted to update you on some work we have been doing around MARAC recently and an opportunity for multi agency staff training. The MARAC Steering Group has recently updated and relaunched the Sefton Domestic Abuse Risk Tool (DASH) and Sefton MARAC and IDVA referral forms. These, along with some separate guidance notes on how to complete the risk tool, are attached for your information. These documents are to replace any previous versions of the forms and should be used to complete domestic abuse risk assessments and for any referrals into either MARAC or IDVA from now on. They have already been shared with the MARAC membership group. Please feel free to circulate them to anyone as necessary within your organisation. The latest risk tool and referral forms can also be found at www.sefton.gov.uk/behindcloseddoors. As part of this relaunch, our MARAC Coordinator has prepared a PowerPoint presentation to refresh you on the MARAC process in Sefton (attached). Please feel free to share this with your teams. We have also arranged a series of more in-depth briefings on the MARAC process which will be held via Microsoft Teams. The initial dates arranged are as follows:
These sessions are available for anyone within your organisation so please circulate the details to any colleagues or teams who you feel would benefit from attending - they do not need to be a MARAC rep. To register to attend, individuals should email Louise O’Rourke at louise.o’rourke@sefton.gov.uk with details of which session they would like to attend. A Teams invitation will be sent out in due course. Sefton MARAM launch Sefton Safeguarding Adults Board have recently launched the MARAM process.
