Relatives of Dorset teenager say some organisations have only made minor tweaks after coroner’s findings
have expressed anger and heartache at the lack of progress on key reforms in policing and healthcare they believe are needed a year after the Dorset teenager’s inquest exposed dozens of failings in her care.
Charities that work with bereaved families and survivors of sexual assault said the relatives’ complaints showed fundamental reform was needed to compel organisations to take real action when a coroner produces a preventing future deaths report.said: “For the three months of the inquest we spent every day in a room where it’s basically torture hearing the terrible details over and over. Our barrister had never seen so many PFD reports coming out of one inquest.
The coroner also expressed concern about the number of specialist epilepsy nurses, having heard there were only two for 10,000 adults with epilepsy in Dorset. Since the inquest,has hired just one more specialist nurse who only works one day a week.
