Inquests - Prevention of Future Deaths reports

When Dave Sheppard retired in 2020 he kindly gave me permission to publish the contents of his website (originally named after his firm, "Dave Sheppard Associates", then called "MHAandMCA"). It is a treasure trove. I've not had time to prepare everything for publication but have put the main headings online: let me know if you would like a copy of anything listed.


Rule 43 reports were replaced on implementation of the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 with Reports on Action to Prevent Future Deaths ('reports') under paragraph 7, Schedule 5, of the 2009 Act and Regulations 28 and 29 of the Coroners (Investigations) Regulations 2013. For short they can be referred to as PFDs or PFD reports or Regulation 28 reports. These reports are important. Coroners have a duty not just to decide how somebody came by their death but also, where appropriate, to report about that death with a view to preventing future deaths. A bereaved family wants to be able to say: 'His death was tragic and terrible, but at least it shouldn't happen to somebody else.' The importance of PFD reports is emphasised by their upgrading by Parliament from a rule (Rule 43 of the Coroners Rules 1984) to part of the 2009 Act (para.7, Schedule 5) and by changing the coroner's discretion to make a report to a duty to make a report where a concern is identified. Responsibility for reports was transferred from the Ministry of Justice to the Chief Coroner's office on 1 April 2013. The Chief Coroner has expressed his commitment to taking value from reports with a view to encouraging persons and organisations to make changes which may prevent future deaths.
