Chief Coroner review practice consistency
The Chief Coroner should review the difference in practice between coronial areas as soon as possible to ensure that: All coroners are informed of the findings of this Inquiry. All coroners are aware of the prevalence of offending by David Fuller against deceased people who were formally under the control of the coroner. All coroners understand the importance of a consistent approach to ensuring the security and dignity of deceased people who are under their control. This is likely to require guidance from the Chief Coroner to ensure that there is a consistent approach nationally, and it should be considered an area for further training for all coroners and their staff.
