Domestic homicide review (DHR)
Last Updated: 10 August 2021
A Domestic Homicide Review (DHR) is a review of the death of a person, aged 16 or over, where the death has, or might have, resulted from violence, abuse or neglect by:
- a person they were related to, or who they had an intimate personal relationship with
- a member of their own household
The purpose of a DHR is to understand where there are lessons to be learned and to make an action plan to prevent other homicides.
We carry out our reviews using Home Office guidance:
South Cumbria CSP Domestic Homicide Reviews: Multi-Agency Statutory Guidance for the Conduct of Domestic Homicide.
There has been one domestic homicide review and report in South Lakeland:
