Police Professional 15/7/2025 News Learning from loss: Ensuring the lessons from domestic homicide reviews lead to change When someone loses their life to domestic abuse, it is an appalling failure of our society, the state and the systems designed to keep us safe. That is why, when the unimaginable happens, there must be no stone left unturned in the search to understand how a life was cut short and determine how we ensure measures are put in place, so it never happens again. Yet, vital opportunities to prevent future deaths are being routinely missed across England and Wales. For over 13 years, domestic homicide reviews have been gathering critical learnings from too many lives tragically lost. But despite bereaved families, the domestic abuse sector and myself calling for better accountability in our response to domestic abuse, there remains no process to ensure the important changes highlighted in these reviews are being implemented at a national and local level. This report – which summarises a pilot project by my office to explore how we best monitor the implementation of recommendations and delivery of actions stemming from these reviews – has unearthed some stark and concerning findings.
