Domestic Homicide Review Taskforce questionnaire: results summary

Introduction

This paper provides a summary of the results of an online questionnaire issued to the Domestic Homicide Review (DHR) Taskforce in December 2022.

The questionnaire was conducted to establish where there is common ground and differences in Taskforce members' early thinking about what a Scottish DHR process might look like. The questionnaire also aimed to identify any gaps or differences in members' understanding of key aspects of DHRs.

In total 13 Taskforce members filled in the survey (representing 45% of the 29 taskforce members).

The results were used to inform a workshop held in February 2023 that explored the purpose and scope of a Scottish DHR model in more detail.
