Salford review
CSP: SalfordPublished: August 2026Year of death: 2022Extracted: 5 recs
Statutory domestic homicide review under section 9 of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004. Source: Home Office DHR Library.
The review identified missed opportunities by multiple agencies to recognise the victim's vulnerability to domestic abuse and exploitation, particularly within healthcare and police interactions. There was a lack of consistent routine enquiry and inter-agency information sharing, alongside gaps in staff training and workplace safeguarding policies.
