Inquests and Inquiries create serious risk to Registered Providers as they have become far more high profile in recent years given the focus on building safety, customer engagement and inter-agency working. These proceedings need handling carefully, usually at a senior level with legal support given the risk of negative press coverage, subsequent litigation and regulatory engagement. Failing to be prepared or seek appropriate support is a significant risk and one that we see materialise often.
Boards need to scrutinise if their organisation is prepared to deal with requests from an Inquiry Chair or from a Coroner, the process and all that flows from this and if Boards are not assured, ask what is being done should such a situation arise.
In this session we will cover:
- The difference between Inquests and Inquiries
- The risks involved with Inquests and Inquiries
- When RPs are asked to participate in Inquests and Inquiries
- Examples of High-Profile Inquests relating to the Housing sector
- Horizon scanning: Inquests and Inquiries update
