SUMMARY:Panel & Seminar. Panel - The Duty of Candour & its development sinc
 e Grenfell. Seminar - The Law & Process in the Coroner's Court
DESCRIPTION:The Panel Discussion will look at the interesting development o
 f the duty of candour following high profile investigations and cases such
  as Grenfell\, Gosport and Hillsborough. The Speakers are Pete Weatherby Q
 C of Garden Court North Chambers is a leading human rights barrister and a
 n expert on the duty of candour\, having been one of the main drafters of 
 the Public Authorities (Accountability) Bill 2017. He has acted for the be
 reaved and survivors at Public Inquiries and inquests into disasters and o
 ther controversial deaths\, including Hillsborough\, Grenfell and the Manc
 hester Arena bombing. Ann Ridley and Ken Sutton  worked together to estab
 lish and support the Hillsborough Independent Panel where their experience
  of working personally with the bereaved families highlighted the necessit
 y for candour. With Bishop James Jones they developed the relevant lessons
  which are reflected in 'The Patronising Disposition of Unaccountable Powe
 r '. That Report proposes that public authorities adopt a Charter putting 
 principles of straightforwardness and learning ahead of defending organisa
 tional reputation as well as extending the duty of candour to the police s
 ervice. The relevance of Ann and Ken's work to the health sector led to t
 heir involvement in the Expert Group shaping the Health Safety Investigati
 on Branch. Steffan Groch is the lead lawyer for RBKC post Grenfell with R
 BKC having signed a Charter of candour.  He is head of DWF’s regulatory
  team and a former Chair of HSLA.\n\nThe Seminar is an essential summary 
 to recent changes in the admissibility of evidence and procedure in the Co
 roner’s Court. In particular\, this seminar examines the right tactical 
 approach for companies and their officers concerned with reputational risk
  and future prosecution. Tim Green of Henderson Chambers has been consiste
 ntly recommended by Chambers &amp\; Partners as one of the UK’s leading 
 advocates for health and safety law and environmental work.\n\nCost. This 
 event is free to HSLA members. Non members can join HSLA and attend the ev
 ent free.
