Navigating inquests: legal, regulatory & practical insights for healthcare, social care and education providers.
Monday 30 June 2025 – 2.00pm – 3.30pm
Delve into the key aspects that healthcare, social care, and education providers must navigate when dealing with deaths in their settings. This includes complex investigations and regulatory scrutiny.
At our webinar, we will cover:
Preparation: Striking the right balance between your legal obligations and the wishes of grieving families, managing witness interactions, evidence collection, and engagement with the regulators and the Coroner.
Regulatory implications: Understanding enforcement risks, reporting duties, and the fine line between cooperating with regulators and protecting ongoing investigations.
Post-conclusion strategy: Crafting effective communications, assessing lessons learned, and managing Prevention of Future Deaths (PFDs) or Serious Incident Reviews.
High-risk areas: Avoiding pitfalls such as poor record-keeping, misdiagnoses, neglect, contributing causes, and failures to act or escalate.
We aim to equip you with the essential strategies to mitigate risk, improve processes, and protect your organisation from regulatory challenges.
