Domestic Abuse Related Death Reviews (DARDR) (previously known as Domestic Homicide Reviews or DHRs) were established on a statutory basis under Section 9 of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act (2004).
Definition and purpose of a Domestic Abuse Related Death Review
Domestic Domestic Abuse Related Death Reviews are carried out to ensure that lessons are learnt when a person has been killed as a result of domestic abuse. The purpose of a Domestic Abuse Related Death Review is to:
- establish what lessons are to be learned from the domestic homicide regarding the way in which local professionals and organisations work individually and together to safeguard victims
- identify clearly what those lessons are both within and between agencies, how and within what timescales they will be acted on, and what is expected to change as a result
- apply those lessons to service responses including changes to policies and procedures as appropriate
- prevent domestic violence homicide and improve service responses for all domestic violence victims and their children through improved intra and inter-agency working
The Elmbridge Community and Safety Partnership is required by the Act to publish a final, anonymised set of recommendations (see below).
