Qld forum on domestic violence deaths

A forum designed to reduce domestic violence-related homicides is to be held at Queensland's Parliament House in Brisbane.

It follows the death of 27 Queenslanders in 2015 as a result of domestic and family violence.

Deputy Police Commissioner Brett Pointing and the Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence, Shannon Fentiman, will speak at the event on Tuesday morning.

The Red Rose Foundation will also be launched at the forum.

It will focus on improving education, training, awareness and research about domestic violence homicides and suicide prevention.
