We are seeking feedback from children and young people, and the people who are important to them, as well as organisations and professionals working with this group, to help to improve a first draft.

Duty of Candour Announcements Welcome

National Voices, the health and care charity coalition, welcomes the announcements on the Duty of Candour. 

Jeremy Taylor, Chief Executive of National Voices, said: 

“National Voices welcomes the announcements on the Duty of Candour. Patients and families have a right to know when things go wrong and now this will be backed up by law. We particularly welcome the government's intention to lower the 'threshold' so that the duty will apply in cases any of 'significant harm' and not only in the most serious incidents.”
