As part of my continuing professional development, I have been reading about the subject of Corporate Manslaughter. This blog looks at the elements of the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007, how a corporate body may be prosecuted under the Act and how co-operatives that are corporate bodies can take steps to manage health and safety effectively in order to avoid prosecution.

co-operative.
