The coroner's concerns

1. lack of specialist Registered Mental Health nurses in OHU
“most OHU referrals within police forces now relate to mental health issues as opposed to physical health issues”
2. absence of post‑death investigation of OHU care
“no investigation into the quality of care afforded to him by the OHU within WYP”
3. unclear response to officer suicidal thoughts
“increase in mental health issues amongst Police Officers nationally”
4. stress from PCDA pathway
“impact this route into policing had on them at the time, including the levels of stress they incurred”
5. inadequate documentation of student officer progress
“full understanding across Police forces as to the PCDA and the sharing of accurate information with all those involved in the management of student officers”
6. unclear Regulation 13 implementation for PCDA
“Consideration of the Regulation 13 process for PCDA students and how this works in practice across forces”
