About the Badge of Dishonour
In December 2024, Chief Coroner HHJ Alexia Durran introduced an unprecedented accountability mechanism: a public list of organisations that had failed to respond to Prevention of Future Death reports within the statutory 56-day deadline.
The list is published every six months and was the first public accountability measure for a duty that has otherwise carried no penalty since it was established in 2013.

How these numbers are counted
Official non-response list figures
- Listed entries
- Entries imported from the Chief Coroner's published non-response lists. The same report or organisation can appear in more than one period, so this is not a count of distinct currently unanswered reports.
- Names, periods and repeat counts
- Named organisations counts different name strings in the loaded list, without merging variants. Reporting periods counts the list's period groups. A repeat figure counts listed entries for that name, not necessarily distinct reports or distinct periods.
- List date
- These lists describe the position at their source dates. A later published response may change a report's current status without removing its historical listing. These figures are separate from InquestIQ's current published-response coverage.
Figures reflect records currently held in InquestIQ and may change as sources are added or corrected. Read the full counting guide.
Repeated names in the lists
Counts of listed entries for each name, which may repeat a report or occur within the same period.
