Live tracking of every Prevention of Future Deaths report and the published responses identified for them under Regulation 28's 56-day deadline.

How response counts are interpreted — 56-day deadline, Judiciary.UK data
Recipients have 56 days to respond under Regulation 28. We use the deadline stated in the report where available, otherwise we calculate it from the report date. We rely on Judiciary.UK for response data, so this tracker shows published responses we have identified there.

A report with at least one published response is counted as having a response identified, even if not every listed addressee has a separate published response. Reports with 0 responses identified are split by whether the response window is still open, within the last two years after that window, or older than two years. This is because addressee data from Judiciary.UK can be unreliable: address fragments, job titles, and redacted names are sometimes parsed as separate addressees, and a single response PDF may cover multiple parties.

Historic reports with 0 responses identified are more than two years old. Older reports may have received a response that was never made public. Treat these counts as a neutral data-coverage signal, not confirmed non-compliance.

7 reports include a non-response confirmed by the Chief Coroner. Show only confirmed →
