Database
The Preventable Deaths Tracker is the first and only centralised database of all coroners’ Prevention of Future Deaths reports that provides real-time statistics.
Interactive Dashboard
The Preventable Deaths Tracker database is now interactive. Filter by date of report, name of addressees who were sent reports, up to 12 coroner areas, or individual coroner names to get the statistics you need. You can select multiple filters at once, download reports, and save outputs by using the new My Account feature. A maximum of one year of data can be downloaded if filtering by date.
