Recommendation · source text
Following a serious incident such as a homicide, the Trust should incorporate best practice guidance available, including the Memorandum of Understanding2 that exists between the Department of Health, the Association of Chief Police officers and the Health and Safety Executive. This would ensure that timely contacting with victim and perpetrator’s families to agree how they would like to be engaged would be established in practice and policy. The resources of Police liaison and homicide teams, victim support or other available advocacy or support services should be used to support the process.
