This study examines NCMD casefiles of children in England who were fatally stabbed between 2019 and 2024, focusing on their prior experiences of violence and adversity, with the aim of identifying missed opportunities for earlier intervention.
Casefile analysis revealed that, prior to this point, a significant number (58%) of children had experienced childhood domestic violence and abuse and were seldom supported by specialist services. 59% had experienced a victim/perpetrator overlap.
