At Healthcare Inspectorate Wales (HIW), working together with other organisations supports us to do our job better.

Homicide reviews were previously commissioned by Welsh Government and undertaken by HIW, however, a new Single Unified Safeguarding Review (SUSR) process is being developed to undertake reviews of this nature. For more details on this process and its progress, please contact Welsh Government.

Our Special Reviews take place when there are serious issues with a healthcare service to help the service learn from what has gone wrong.
