Mansfield review

Statutory domestic homicide review under section 9 of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004. Source: Home Office DHR Library.
The review highlights a lack of agency awareness regarding the relationship between the victim and perpetrator, and the domestic abuse occurring. The victim's isolation and vulnerabilities due to physical and mental health issues limited opportunities for disclosure and intervention.

It is recommended that GPs routinely demonstrate professional curiosity by asking an open question such as ‘how are things at home’ and use the response to these questions to make appropriate referrals to DARS (Domestic Abuse Referral Service).
