Everything your community needs to form a fatality review team under Act 148
This toolkit was developed by the Governor's Council on Domestic Abuse, DV Fatality Review Initiative, to help Wisconsin communities establish and operate domestic violence fatality review teams under 2025 Wisconsin Act 148. It covers the legal framework, step-by-step team formation guidance, team composition, confidentiality, case selection and review methodology, reviewer self-care, dissemination, funding, and resources.
The National Domestic Violence Fatality Review Initiative (NDVFRI) is the primary national resource for fatality review teams. Their website offers an extensive library of materials for teams at every stage.
