A HOLYROOD committee has put out a call for views as it considers proposals for “robust” lessons-learnt reviews of deaths related to domestic abuse.

The SNP Scottish government made the proposal, forming part of its Criminal Justice Modernisation and Abusive Domestic Behaviour Reviews (Scotland) Bill, currently making its way through Parliament.

Proposing the mandatory reviews, Scottish Justice Secretary Angela Constance argued they would enable authorities to identify “what lessons can be learnt following known or suspected domestic abuse deaths.”
