| Abstract |
Second version of the protocol for liaison between enforcing and prosecuting authorities in relation to work-related deaths (see CIS 98-1226 for previous version). It sets out the principles for effective liaison between the parties and deals in particular with incidents where, following a death, evidence indicates that a serous criminal offence may have been committed. Topics covered: statement of intent; initial action; management of the investigation; decision making; disclosure of material; special inquiries; advice prior to charge; decision to prosecute; prosecution; role of the coroner; national and local liaison. |
