What People Say About Us

Amazing, driven excellence service, working wholeheartedly around the clock to support bereaved families.

As Domestic Homicide Review Chair and Report Author we have worked alongside AAFDA on a number of reviews.  The support that they provide to families is exemplary. They understand domestic abuse and the very specific issues that arise from domestic homicides.  Their specialist advice leads to better family engagement. They provide practical help and support to those left behind that can assist in them beginning to move forward with their lives.  Quite simply, Reviews are always better with AAFDA involvement. We cannot recommend them highly enough.
