The emotional toll on children affected by domestic homicide will be better managed inA need to improve the support given to families, particularly children, was a key recommendation in a report exploring domestic and family violence deaths in the state.
“We will be undertaking targeted consultation with services who support victims of homicide … as well as people with lived experience, to shape how we can improve our response to loved ones of homicide victims,” Fentiman said on Wednesday.All six of the report’s recommendations were either accepted or accepted in principle, with the remaining five aligning closely with work done by the Women’s Safety and Justice Taskforce.
The premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, said those recommendations will be considered by state cabinet soon. “With one of the busiest magistrates courts in Queensland, which deals with a high volume of DFV matters, Cairns will benefit from this specialist court,” Barron River MP Craig Crawford said.
