11 Nov 2024 · Coroner Sophie Lomas · Derby and Derbyshire
The coroner's concerns
1. uncertainty in moving accommodation
“communication with service users around moving accommodation needs to be managed carefully as false assurances can undermine trust between the service user and the supporting team”
2. lack of clear communication policy for moving accommodation
“lack of evidence of a specific approach or policy addressing how the process can be clearly communicated to those supporting service users in the community”
3. absence of internal review after death
“no internal review was carried out at Leicestershire County Council following [the deceased]'s death”
