Statutory domestic homicide review under section 9 of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004. Source: Home Office DHR Library.
The review identified a lack of agency awareness regarding intra-familial domestic abuse and potential barriers for the perpetrator to access substance misuse support due to service focus. It also highlighted issues with the prompt provision of NHS records for DHR processes.
