Statutory domestic homicide review under section 9 of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004. Source: Home Office DHR Library.
The review identifies a lack of agency awareness and formal support mechanisms for employees experiencing domestic abuse. The victim confided in colleagues about escalating violence, but a lack of established policy and staff understanding prevented appropriate intervention.
