Summary

The review identifies missed opportunities by health professionals to explore the perpetrator's disclosures of childhood abuse and a lack of consistent identification of his learning difficulties, alongside issues with recording domestic abuse incidents.

1 recommendation pulled from the report

#	Recommendation	Addressed to
1.	Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust must ensure that if patients disclose child abuse to professionals, the nature of this should be explored. Any further detail should be recorded and consideration given to sharing this information if serious criminal offences are disclosed because the patient may not have been the only victim.
