Summary

The report identifies missed opportunities by the GP to identify the victim's vulnerabilities and coercive control. It also highlights the narrow definition of domestic abuse for extended family and the potential for modern slavery/debt bondage in the victim's living situation.

5 recommendations pulled from the report

#	Recommendation	Addressed to
CCG Recommendation 1	To ensure GPs in Buckinghamshire have systems and processes in place to support the identification of individuals at risk of honour-based violence and exploitation.	Buckinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group
CCG Recommendation 2	To share learning from this review in respect to how GPs should be careful not to consider their own values and beliefs in relation to identification of risk.	Buckinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group
National - Recommend	HM Government to review and consider extending the description of “family” domestic abuse in the Draft Domestic Abuse Bill 2018, to cover those living in the same household as per the requirements to undertake a domestic homicide review.	HM Government
National - Recommend	The Home Office’s preferred support agency for families of domestic homicides, Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA) should be recommended by the Home Office Domestic Homicide Review Quality Assurance Panel, to amend their leaflet to cover suicide or to add an additional leaflet. The current leaflet only refers to homicide and, whilst the service say they will help with Suicide Reviews, the leaflets are not appropriate for this at present.	Home Office \| Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse (AAFDA)
Panel Recommendation	The Safeguarding Representative is to share this review with the Chairs of the Adult and Children’s Safeguarding Boards.	Chiltern and South Bucks Community Safety Partnership
