A flowchart titled “High-risk circumstances identified.” From the top box, two arrows branch downward. The left branch asks: “Is a multi-agency risk response necessary and proportionate? Consider if other risk management approaches are more appropriate.” Below are two options. The “YES” box says: “Convene a MARM meeting (see section 9 for stages of the MARM framework).” An arrow from this leads to another box reading: “Ensure agreed actions are progressed and risks reviewed in line with MARM framework principles and practice standards.” The “NO” box says: “Respond within single agency policy and procedures.”

The right branch asks: “Does the adult have needs for care and support, is experiencing, or at risk of, abuse or neglect, and are there concerns about their ability to protect themselves?” Below is a single “YES” box saying: “Follow safeguarding adult procedures and complete a safeguarding adult concern referral,” with “safeguarding adult concern referral” shown as a hyperlink.
