Serious reforms are indeed needed to the coronial system. We have long called for 1. A National Coroners Service. 2. An oversight mechanism to monitor & follow up recs. 3. Non-means tested funding for legal representation for families. Our letter to @thetimes from @DebatINQUEST pic.twitter.com/SX05a2C6TV

HMP Chelmsford has one of the highest rates of self-inflicted deaths in England and Wales, with the same systemic failings repeated with dismal regularity.

Pepper spray is a weapon designed to cause harm. Shocking that it has been introduced into prisons with no parliamentary debate or scrutiny and as predicted it is being used in situations that don’t justify it. theguardian.com/society/2018/d…

David's family said: 'My main concern is why the decision was made for him to be left on his own when he clearly had mental ill health and was experiencing hallucinations. I am also concerned that none of our family or close friends were contacted to support him at this time.'

As the publication #MHAreview brings focus to widespread issues in the care and treatment of those with mental ill health, we hope this inquest will give David’s family the answers they need about why he wasn’t better protected by police and mental health professionals.
