Domestic Abuse Related Death Reviews (DARDRs) are multi-agency reviews conducted following the death of a person aged 16 or over where domestic abuse may have been a contributing factor. Their purpose is to identify learning and improve responses in order to help prevent future deaths.

This page brings together key research, guidance and resources for anyone who wants to delve deeper into DARDRs, including Expert Panel Members and Chairs. It is particularly intended to support reflection and practice through an intersectional and culturally competent lens. These materials have been developed by a range of organisations and authors. We do not claim ownership of them; our aim is to make important evidence and practice resources easier to access, while respecting copyright and encouraging readers to consult the original sources.
