Understanding Hillsborough Law: Implications for Local Authorities, Social Housing Providers and those carrying out public functions

Understanding Hillsborough Law: Implications for Local Authorities, Social Housing Providers and those carrying out public functions

Join us for this essential one-hour webinar exploring the Public Office (Accountability) Bill, to be known as “the Hillsborough Law” and its significant implications for local authorities, registered providers of social housing, and organisations carrying out health and safety and/or public functions.

We’ll discuss what this means in practice for your organisation, how it affects incident response and investigation procedures, and the practical steps needed to ensure compliance.

Whether you’re responsible for health and safety, governance, or managing public services, this webinar will provide clarity on your obligations and help you prepare for the changes ahead.

Topics Covered

  • The extension of the duty of candour to inquests and inquiries
  • New statutory offences of misconduct in a public office and misleading the public
  • Codes of Ethics
  • Parity of arms for families in legal aid funding.
