The coroner's concerns

  1. 1. lack of guidance on reasonable enquiries

    “no guidance currently exists for call handlers as to what constitutes 'reasonable enquiries' by a member of the public in relation to a person reported as missing”
  2. 2. contacting healthcare providers for missing person enquiries

    “additional enquiries the caller was asked to undertake included contacting Mr [name redacted] GP surgery and the local hospital, notwithstanding the potential legal constraints on healthcare providers disclosing information to a concerned member of the public”
  3. 3. confusion about call classification

    “call handler appears confused as to whether she was dealing with the call as a missing persons report or under the Right Person Right Care initiative”
