Domestic Homicide Reviews were established on a statutory basis under Section 9 of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004. The purpose of carrying out a review is to ensure that lessons are learnt when a person has been killed as a result of domestic violence.
The Safe Durham Partnership has responsibility for Domestic Homicide Reviews within County Durham and has developed and adopted a local procedure for the conduct of Domestic Homicide Reviews. If you require further information, contact us at: safedurhampartnership@durham.gov.uk
