In this standalone episode, we speak to Vanessa Munro, a Professor in Law at the University of Warwick, and Sarah Dangar, former Deputy Chief Executive of Advocacy after Fatal Domestic Abuse, about their research on suicide-related Domestic Homicide Reviews - a key tool for learning from cases to improve policy and practice. 

We discuss the link between domestic abuse and suicide, and the pressing need to make sure that frontline professionals can identify and support those at risk of suicide related to domestic abuse. We also discuss the importance of improving how Domestic Homicide Reviews are conducted, and making sure we hear and learn from the stories and voices of victims and their families.
