Summary
The review identified systemic failures in inter-agency information sharing and a lack of professional curiosity, leading to missed opportunities to identify and respond to escalating domestic abuse and coercive control. Inconsistent risk assessment, inadequate focus on perpetrator behaviour, and insufficient management oversight further compounded the risks to the victim.
