info_outlineHow does best practice look when we are commissioning an IMR & how regularly does this happen in practice? When the requirement lands it’s natural to want to produce the best quality, but there’s a supportive framework that facilitates that.

This conversation applies to IMRs created for Domestic Homicide Reviews, Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews or Safeguarding Adults Reviews.
