Summary
The report identifies concerns regarding agencies' failure to link historic domestic abuse records, barriers to disclosure for victims from minoritised communities due to cultural factors and immigration status, and the use of family members as interpreters. It also highlights missed opportunities for intervention and a need to improve community awareness and support for young people outside the school system.
