Summary
The review identified missed opportunities for agencies to apply professional curiosity and share information, an over-reliance on victim engagement, and insufficient focus on perpetrator behaviour. Concerns also included inadequate workplace policies, inconsistent terminology, and risk assessment tools not fully capturing escalating risk factors.
