Summary
The review identified missed opportunities by agencies to share information and utilise safeguarding tools, such as the Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme, to address the perpetrator's history of abuse and the victim's escalating risk. Gaps in professional curiosity, training, and supervision were also noted.
