Multi-Agency Risk Management (MARM)

Multi-Agency Risk Management (MARM)

MARM is a multi-agency adult assessment risk management process to: 

• Identify the relevant risks for the individual  
• Discuss and agree agency responsibilities/actions 
• Record, monitor and review progress with the agreed action plan  
• Agree when the risks have been managed and evaluate the outcome  

·     MARM will only be called where the adult at risk does not fall within the existing multi-agency processes, or if it is felt that a MARM meeting will help to reduce the risk of serious harm or death. MARM is not a substitute for: 

• Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA)  
• Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Conference (MARAC)  
• Multi-Agency Tasking and Coordination (MTAC)
• Channel (multiagency meeting within the Prevent programme)
• Other local multi-agency forums (such as Blue Light, Complex Case Cell, FERN and SWOP)
• Formal adult safeguarding procedures under s42 of the Care Act 2014
