Report metadata

Field Value
PFD reference 2025-0506
Registered primary source SRC-207
Report date 2025-10-10
Coroner area Essex
Clinical setting Mental-health hospital, community mental health and care home
Care transition Inpatient discharge plan to community and care-home risk management
Primary workflow group Risk, care planning and safeguarding
Primary browsing context Mental health care
Predominant information boundary Between care settings

The workflow, browsing-context and predominant-boundary fields are retained navigation aids. They are not additional coronial findings, and a single primary value cannot express every aspect of a multi-setting or multi-mechanism report.

Care-pathway classification

This classification distinguishes where safety-relevant information or work arose, where action was expected and where the digital or information workflow failed. It is a project coding of the source, not a coronial statement. “Origin” does not mean the organisation caused the harm.

Dimension Project classification
Settings and pathway participants Inpatient or secure mental-health care, Community mental-health care, Social care, care home or supported living, Police, local authority or other non-health agency
Information or work-item origin Multiple settings or services
Origin care context(s) Secondary care, Community care, Social care, Non-health agency
Expected action destination Multiple settings or services
Destination care context(s) Community care, Social care
Directional pathway Multiple settings or services → Multiple settings or services
Care-setting span Multiple care settings
Sector boundary Health, social care and other non-health sectors
Failure point Multiple points
Classification confidence high

Classification note: Risk and care information moved from hospital into community mental-health, social-care and local-authority activity; failures occurred during transfer, destination action and later documentation.

Classification confidence applies only to this care-pathway coding. It is separate from extraction confidence, source authority and causal certainty.

Evidence status and qualification

Field Status
Extraction confidence high
Verification status Primary source linked; high-confidence extraction
Response evidence status Response evidence noted
Registered response sources SRC-264, SRC-265
Non-exclusive mechanism codes LOOP, GOV, VIS, INT, PROV

Qualification recorded in the dataset: The report identifies extensive clinical, placement and organisational failures; the post-death entry and record-transfer mechanisms are material strands rather than isolated causes

“Response evidence noted” means only that the row qualification refers to response/respondent evidence or records a recipient's post-report position. The linked IDs enumerate the official response attachments registered for this row; they do not imply that every response supports every part of the qualification, and they do not establish implementation. “Not assessed” makes no claim about whether a response exists.

Structured project extraction

These fields are analytical summaries, not quotations.

Project summary of the coroner's concern

Incomplete plans, failed crisis communication and unmarked late entry left severe suicide risk unmanaged and obscured review

Requested action

Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust and Essex County Council to address discharge, risk and investigation failures

Digital safety characterisation

Dimension Project extraction
System or record type Integrated plan, email and electronic mental-health record
Digital function Care-plan transfer, crisis escalation and retrospective documentation
Failure mode Required plans were not completed, crisis information did not reach the named teams and a risk assessment was added after death without retrospective marking
Human-factors issue Visiting professionals assumed plans existed and did not challenge missing documents or reconcile newly recorded crises
Workflow issue No accountable discharge and crisis workflow confirmed completion, receipt, escalation and review across teams
Information issue Current risk, taxi-related vulnerability, crisis state and document chronology were incomplete or misleading

Downstream Defence trace

No canonical candidate Defence requirement currently cites this report. This does not imply that the mechanism is irrelevant; any mapping must be added and qualified in the controlled requirements register.

The included-case dataset preserves early legacy_military_relevance and legacy_derived_requirement fields for audit history. They are not published here as requirements and must not override the canonical REQ register. New report rows do not need to populate them.
