Course Summary

Domestic Abuse Related Death Reviews (DARDRs), previously referred to as Domestic Homicide Reviews, are a vital mechanism for identifying lessons to prevent future tragedies and improve multi-agency responses to domestic abuse-related deaths. This course reflects the latest national guidance from the Home Office* and evolving best practice.

Our Managing a Domestic Abuse Related Death Review online training equips professionals with the necessary knowledge and confidence to effectively contribute to a DARDR in accordance with statutory guidance.

Throughout the day, you will explore the legal framework, key stages of the process, and the roles and responsibilities of agencies and individuals involved. The course also emphasises safeguarding, trauma-informed practice, and effective multi-agency collaboration to ensure that reviews are conducted sensitively and comprehensively.

Led by domestic abuse expert Luke Kendall, an Independent Review Chair, accredited victim advocate and perpetrator intervention specialist, this training draws on both research and frontline experience to deepen your understanding.

By the end of the day, you’ll be equipped to support a DARDR with clarity and compassion, helping to honour lives lost and strengthen safeguarding in your organisation and community.
