5 Sept 2025 · Coroner Rebecca Connell · Rutland and North Leicestershire
The coroner's concerns
1. inadequate use of video footage and carer views
“The extent to which additional evidence such as video footage and carers views should be taken into account”
2. lack of guidance on using video evidence
“The extent to which staff should consider evidence provided in alternative formats such as video evidence”
3. insufficient support for carers
“Support offered to carers who are providing support to mental health patients”
