A report of the Director of Law, HR and Asset Management sought Members’ approval of a policy to deliver the Council’s statutory duty in respect of Domestic Homicide Reviews.

The Cabinet was told that Domestic Homicide Reviews were a statutory duty of each Community Safety Partnership.  The Council was a designated Responsible Authority under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 legislation and, therefore, had a duty to participate in a Review should one be required.

RESOLVED:

That the Domestic Homicide Review Policy for Wirral be adopted.
