Work-Related Death
Advice Service
The CCA is the only national non-governmental organisation
in Britain that provides free, independent and confidential
advice and assistance to families bereaved from a
work-related death.
We give advice on all
kinds of deaths to both workers and to members of
the public who have died where the circumstances raise
questions about the working practices of an organisation.
It could be a death
on a construction site, in a hospital, in a road-traffic
incident or in a care home.

We provide advice on
all investigation and prosecution issues arising out
of the death.
We help families deal
with the police, the health and safety executive,
local authorities, maritime and coastguard agency,
and the Crown Prosecution Service.
We find out information
for the family, write letters to the different state
bodies and attend meetings along with the families.
We will help families
understand the process and help assess whether an
adequate investigation has been carried out and whether
the evidence has been scrutinised properly.
What
exactly do we do?
The CCA has recently written a 'Service Strategy'
about the sort of advice we provide and how we go
about it. Click

How
good are we?
In early 2003, we undertook an anonymised assessment
of the adequacy and effectiveness of our advice. To
