Summary
The review identifies systemic failures in agencies' recognition and response to coercive control and domestic abuse, impacting both the victim and child victim. Key concerns include missed opportunities for risk assessment, inadequate information sharing, and insufficient professional curiosity regarding the victim's minimisation of abuse and the child victim's disclosures. Economic abuse and the perpetrator's control of the narrative also hindered effective intervention.
