Child Death (from 2015)
Concerns summary The current system allows inexperienced 17-year-old drivers to drive unsupervised with teenage passengers, which is a factor in collisions and increases the risk of future fatal incidents.

Suicide (from 2015)
Concerns summary There's no national recording of police officer suicides during misconduct investigations, preventing identification of risk and support needs. Also, not all police forces have implemented trauma education campaigns.
