Summary
The review identified missed opportunities by agencies to identify, assess, and respond to domestic abuse, including coercive control and increased risk at separation. There were also gaps in information sharing, risk assessment, and linking mental health/substance misuse with domestic abuse, impacting safeguarding for the victim and children.
Extracted recommendations
| # | Recommendation | Addressed to |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | The CSP should ensure that agencies are (a) aware of the local specialist domestic abuse service, (b) know how to make referrals to the service and (c) provide comprehensive support and referral as necessary to victims of domestic abuse. | Salford Community Safety Partnership |
| 2 | The CSP should undertake a programme of work, as part of the development of the local domestic abuse strategy, to raise awareness of perpetrator behaviour and its impact on victims. | Salford Community Safety Partnership |
| 3 | The CSP should monitor and report learning from the current pilot in relation to DASH risk assessment and results should be fed into local practice. | Salford Community Safety Partnership |
| 4 | The CSP should write to the Ministry of Justice to seek assurance that reviews into the effectiveness of domestic abuse offender behaviour programmes are in place to ensure that resources are effectively targeted and positive outcomes can be demonstrated. | Salford Community Safety Partnership |
| 5 | The Safeguarding Children Partnership should ensure that understanding the impact of domestic abuse and parental mental ill health are given full consideration when practitioners engage with families at any stage of contact. | Safeguarding Children Partnership |
