How many children have been bereaved by domestic abuse in the past 5 years in London?

Request

Dear Sophie,

I am setting up a specialist support service for children bereaved by domestic homicide or suicide in the context of domestic abuse. We are currently looking at the scope of the service and assessing the need.

I would appreciate it if you could inform me of how many children have been bereaved by domestic abuse in the past 5 years in London - MOPAC. Please can you include all domestic homicides and suspected suicides where domestic abuse was suspected.

Kind Regards

Response
