Summary

The review highlights critical failings in the National Probation Service's management and supervision of the perpetrator, including delayed recall despite repeated licence breaches and substance misuse. It also identifies significant shortcomings in information sharing between the Probation Service and Metropolitan Police, which hindered a comprehensive risk assessment for the vulnerable victim.
