  • Webinar | Wednesday 12 March 2025 | 12:00 - 13:00 | 1 Hour

    Hopefully many higher education institutions will never have to investigate a fatality. However, in this webinar we talk through the steps institutions should take following a student death and how to prepare if they are involved in an inquest. 

    Our legal specialists Claire Leonard and Amrita Hurst will cover:

    • An introduction to inquests
    • Guidance for higher education institutions following a student death
    • Preparing for an inquest: communication, disclosure, witness statements, witness support
    • Recent issues arising in inquests relating to higher education providers.

    This webinar will be relevant to anyone in the higher education sector with responsibility for legal services, compliance and student welfare.


    This is the first session in our higher education spring series of Wednesday webinars. Our higher education specialists will be hosting our other sessions from 12:00 - 13:00 on Tuesday 18 March and Wednesday 26 March.
