Domestic Abuse Related Death Reviews

A domestic abuse related death review (DARDR), formerly known as a domestic homicide review (DHR) is arranged when a resident of Mole Valley aged 16 or over has died as the result of violence, abuse or neglect by a relative, partner or close member of their household.

The purpose is to learn lessons from these tragic events to improve practices in future so that victims are safeguarded and deaths are prevented.

GOV.UK Domestic homicide review guidance on when a DARDH should be set up, and how it should be carried out.

When a DARDH is completed, a report will be published on this page.

The Mole Valley Community Safety Partnership is required to publish information related to finalised reviews following agreement from the Home Office Quality Assurance Panel. Some will be by way of a full report and others may be Lessons Learned documents where the full review report is not appropriate to publish. All reports and learning briefs are anonymised and pseudonyms are used. These can be found below along with the letter from the Home Office.
