Summary
The review identified systemic failures in inter-agency communication, information sharing, and domestic violence risk assessment across police, social care, and health services. Key concerns include inadequate policy frameworks, missed opportunities to investigate threats to kill, and poor application of safeguarding procedures, which collectively failed to protect the victim.
