Details

Domestic homicide reviews are done when the death of a person aged 16 or over has, or appears to have, resulted from violence, abuse or neglect by:

  • a relative
  • a spouse, partner or ex-partner
  • a member of the same household

They are not about who is culpable. They are to:

  • help identify lessons we can learn from the death
  • prevent further domestic abuse
  • improve services for victims of domestic abuse

These documents analyse domestic homicide reviews and summarise their recommendations.
