Leading Lights accreditation | MARAC Quality Assurance

Quality assurance and accreditation

There is a great need for consistent standards and quality assurance in the field of domestic abuse service provision. Everyday, Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC) representatives and frontline Independent Domestic Violence Advisors (IDVAs) make critical decisions which affect the lives of victims and their children. Responding to this need, CAADA has developed a comprehensive quality assurance and accreditation programme for both IDVA services and MARACs.

Accreditation for IDVA services - CAADA Leading Lights

The CAADA Leading Lights programme recognises safe and consistent practice among IDVA services. The accreditation programme, which is based upon practical and effective policies and processes, offers a clear path towards consistent standards of care across the IDVA sector.

MARAC quality assurance

CAADA's MARAC quality assurance programme is designed to promote good and consistent practice in and around the Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC). This ensures that victims of domestic violence receive a consistent, safety-focused service wherever they are based whilst allowing for local differences in practice.
