Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister, is set to announce at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool that the new Hillsborough law will be implemented before the next anniversary of the tragic disaster. This legislation aims to establish a legal duty of candour for all public bodies, which would include potential criminal penalties for officials or authorities that mislead or obstruct investigations. Currently, the legal duty of candour applies primarily to care providers, requiring them to be open and transparent with service users. This obligation includes offering support, providing truthful information, and issuing apologies when mistakes occur. The introduction of the Hillsborough law seeks to expand these principles to a broader range of public institutions.
