The coroner's concerns
1. delay in resolving investigation
“The delay in resolving the investigation commissioned into the deceased behaviour at work”
2. publication of allegations to colleagues
“The ease with which the circumstances leading to the allegation were made public amongst the deceased's' work colleagues and the consequences of that”
3. distress from publication of circumstances
“The recognition that the distress caused to the deceased by the publication of the circumstances, should be a factor in accelerating a conclusion to an investigation, not just the consequences of any findings of an investigation if negative to the deceased”
