Short answer: No. Raw MARAC minutes are never released to victims, perpetrators, or external third parties. Only a formal confirmation letter can be provided in specific circumstances (see below).
How information is shared with the victim
Verbal only. The victim's IDVA or designated support worker gives a verbal update on the relevant parts of the safety plan — not the minutes themselves.
Safety actions only. The victim is told what they need to know to stay safe, not the detailed discussion or agency background that led to it.
No perpetrator information. Anything that could increase risk, or details about the perpetrator the victim has no legal right to, is withheld entirely.
Why raw minutes are withheld
Safety/retaliation risk. If a perpetrator learned exactly what each agency shared, it could put the victim, children, or staff at immediate risk.
Data ownership. MARAC is an information-sharing process, not a legal body in its own right — the information in the minutes belongs to the originating agency (Police, NHS, Housing, etc.), not the MARAC.
Legal disclosure is court-order only. Minutes are generally only disclosed into a legal setting (e.g. family court) if a specific court order requires it.
What can be provided formally
If a victim needs official proof their case was heard at MARAC — e.g. to support a Legal Aid application — the MARAC Administration Team can issue a formal confirmation letter instead of the minutes themselves.
