Draft Charter for Bereaved People

Date: 18 June 2008

Cemetery

A revised draft version of the charter for bereaved people who come into contact with the coroner system, issued for comment.


The Charter for Bereaved People brings together many of the services bereaved people will receive from coroners in a reformed system. It will be enabled by the Coroners and Death Certification Bill and will have the status of statutory guidance.

A draft version of the charter was first published for consultation alongside the draft Coroners Bill in June 2006.

The revised draft version of the charter, incorporating feedback, is issued for further comments. This is a final opportunity to give your views before the draft charter is again put before Parliament alongside the Bill.


We would welcome your comments on the revised draft version of the Charter in Annex A of the document. The deadline for comments is Wednesday 10 September 2008.
