Summary
The review identifies systemic failures in multi-agency information sharing and risk assessment concerning the perpetrator's mental health and substance misuse. Key concerns include inadequate safeguarding for the elderly victim, lack of professional curiosity by Adult Social Care, and communication breakdowns between police, mental health services, and the university, compounded by DHR process delays.
