As you may be aware, the Cardiff Partnership is required to conduct a Domestic Homicide Review in the event of the death of a person aged 16 or over has, or appears to have, resulted from violence, abuse or neglect by:

(a) a person to whom he was related or with whom he was or had been in an intimate personal relationship, or

(b) a member of the same household as himself, held with a view to identifying the lessons to be learnt from the death.

Further details regarding the requirements can be obtained by emailing whatmatters@cardiff.gov.uk for a copy of the briefing and guidance.
