Explanatory note
(This note is not part of these Rules)
EXPLANATORY NOTE
These Rules amend rules 57A of the Coroners Rules 1984, which makes provision for coroners to supply information concerning the death of children to Local Safeguarding Children Boards. Paragraph (4) defined “the appropriate Local Safeguarding Children Board” as the Board established under section 13(1) of the Children Act 2004 within whose area the body of the deceased is lying. Section 13(1) of the 2004 Act makes provision for the establishment of Local Safeguarding Children Boards in England. Section 31(1) of the 2004 Act makes provision for the establishment of such Boards in Wales. The definition in the Rules should also have included Boards established in Wales and these rules amend the definition accordingly.
