Description
Alberta’s Family Violence Death Review Committee (the Committee) is an internal arm’s length, multi-disciplinary, cross-sector group reporting directly to the Minister of Community and Social Services. The Committee has the responsibility to review family violence deaths and make recommendations related to program, policy and service delivery for the prevention of family violence. The 2016 Annual Report provides an overview of the Committee’s membership, structure and accountability. The report also explains how case reviews are completed, the processes used to complete the reviews and the resulting recommendations. It also provides a detailed examination of information collected on the 13 family violence incidents that resulted in 15 deaths (perpetrators and victims).
