Dear Antonia,

Thank you for resubmitting the report (Jane) for North Northamptonshire Community Safety Partnership to the Home Office Quality Assurance (QA) Panel. The report was reassessed in December 2023.

The QA Panel felt that it was a good report with a clear, easy to read chronology and appreciated the footnote explaining why Panel members are not named. The report also benefitted from the participation and contribution of Jane’s family and the sensitive and impactful tribute that they provided to their mother. This helped to provide a powerful picture of Jane as a mother, friend, and work colleague.

The report also provided good analysis and recommendations around controlling and coercive behaviour. The updated action plan provides a full outcome of the recommendations and is helpful regarding areas for development.

The Home Office noted that most of the issues raised in the previous feedback letter following the first submission have now been addressed.

The view of the Home Office is that the DHR may now be published.

Once completed the Home Office would be grateful if you could provide us with a digital copy of the revised final version of the report with all finalised attachments and appendices and the weblink to the site where the report will be published. Please ensure this letter is published alongside the report.

Please send the digital copy and weblink to [email protected]. This is for our own records for future analysis to go towards highlighting best practice and to inform public policy.

The DHR report including the executive summary and action plan should be converted to a PDF document and be smaller than 20 MB in size, this final Home Office QA Panel feedback letter should be attached to the end of the report as an annex, and the DHR Action Plan should be added to the report as an annex. This should include all implementation updates and note that the action plan is a live document and subject to change as outcomes are delivered.

Please also send a digital copy to the Domestic Abuse Commissioner at [email protected].

On behalf of the QA Panel, I would like to thank you, the report chair and author, and other colleagues for the considerable work that you have put into this review.

Yours sincerely,

Home Office DHR Quality Assurance Panel
