MARAM stands for Multi-Agency Risk Assessment Meeting. As part of the Gender-Based Violence and Domestic Violence Strategy and Action Plan, MARAM coordinates the intelligence and operations of different entities who work directly with victims of domestic violence and gender-based violence and their children. MARAM was established in February 2023, following a recommendation made in the inquiry led by Judge Geoffrey Valencia. In the conclusions of the inquiry, it was recommended that through MARAM, the system should provide a “set-up for sharing expertise and experience in handling high-risk cases.” MARAM is based on collaboration between various entities, represented by professionals who are specifically trained for this purpose. MARAM falls under the responsibility of the Ministry for Social Policy and Children’s Rights. The role of MARAM is to facilitate, monitor, and evaluate effective information sharing between entities, and to enable appropriate actions to be taken towards the reduction of harm risk to victims of domestic violence and to increase public safety. |

The American Public Human Services Association (APHSA) is a bipartisan membership organization representing state, county, and city human services agencies across the United States. We support public-sector leaders responsible for designing, administering, and modernizing social services that promote individual, family, and community well-being. Our members oversee programs that strengthen resilience through access to food, health care, housing, employment, child care, and other essential supports, while also advancing integrated data systems, workforce development, and legal and policy alignment. APHSA serves as a national convening and learning hub, connecting local and regional agencies with federal policymakers, cross-sector partners, and peer networks. Through professional education, technical assistance, and shared learning, we help public human services systems respond more effectively to complex social challenges. |
The 26th International Conference on Integrated Care (ICIC26) will bring together researchers, practitioners, people with lived experience, clinicians and managers from the UK and around the world who are engaged in the design and delivery of integrated health and social care.

In doing so, the conference will share common opportunities and challenges faced by integrated care programmes and practice and debate potential solutions and learning from local and national developments. |
