Domestic Abuse Related Death Reviews
The Elmbridge Community and Safety Partnership has responsibility for Domestic Abuse Related Death Reviews within Elmbridge.
Domestic Abuse Related Death Reviews (DARDR), previously known as Domestic Homicide Reviews (DHRs), are a statutory requirement 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 Act requires the Elmbridge Community and Safety Partnership to publish a final, anonymised set of recommendations.
