Purpose

MATAC is a whole system approach to intervening with perpetrators of domestic abuse who are classed as being serial/or high risk, high harm. The objective is for Police and partners to work together so that risk, harm and re-victimisation are reduced.
The key elements of the model are:
• Identification of the most harmful perpetrators
• Assessment of the risk they pose to victims, children, other family members.
• Referral into regular multi-agency MATAC meeting.
• Implementation of a combination of disruption, enforcement, challenge and behaviour change provision.
• Frequent review of risk to victim and provision of integrated victim support offer.
• Continued review of risk and harm posed by perpetrator as interventions take place.
Locally, the MATAC model has continued to be developed in each LA and has shown solid signs of progress and achievement.
