Coroner’s reforms give bereaved relatives greater involvement

New coroners’ powers to help prevent avoidable deaths have been announced.

As of 17 July, a new duty is placed on organisations to respond to coroners’ reports on action that should be taken to prevent future deaths. Reports will then be shared with bereaved families, so that they are aware of action being taken.

Reports will be centrally collated so that any trends can be monitored, and lessons learned can be shared more widely.
