Dear Shaun,

Thank you for informing us of your decision not to conduct a Domestic Homicide Review (DHR) for the case of 20240122/0. Apologies for the delay in sharing the outcome of the review of this case.

Thank you for outlining the reasons that you do not think that a DHR should be commissioned for this case. We referred this decision to the DHR Quality Assurance (QA) Panel to review as per paragraph 26 of the statutory guidance. The QA Panel agreed with your decision that a DHR should not be commissioned.

We would be grateful if you could ensure that learning from this case is identified and shared locally using appropriate mechanisms.

Yours sincerely,

Home Office DHR QA Panel
