Summary
The review identified concerns regarding the perpetrator's lack of engagement with support services, gaps in continuity of support during transitions, and missed opportunities in risk management and information sharing. It also highlighted issues with the consistent application of domestic abuse risk assessment tools (DASH RIC) and the specialist response to young perpetrators in the criminal justice system.
