Editorial policy
This case involves deceased babies, surviving children, bereaved families, medical staff, jurors, witnesses and other private individuals. Readers must not harass, contact, threaten, shame, identify or target families, witnesses, jurors, clinicians, journalists, lawyers, police, experts or hospital staff. Disagreement should be evidence-based, civil and source-linked.
Do not contact bereaved families, surviving children, witnesses, jurors, clinicians, hospital staff or police officers connected to the case. The court imposed lifelong anonymity on every family; nothing on this site is intended to facilitate identification.
Do not harass, threaten, shame or abuse named consultants, nurses, executives, journalists, lawyers, MPs, experts or campaigners — including those whose criticisms you may agree with. Disagreement should be source-based, civil and on the substance.
We do not speculate about the inner lives, beliefs or motives of bereaved parents. We do not publish private correspondence except where it has already been read into the public record of an official proceeding (for example, Thirlwall Inquiry exhibits).
We use the court-assigned child codes (Child A–Q) for the babies. We use the publicly available names of clinicians, executives, experts, lawyers and parliamentarians where they have spoken publicly or appeared in official records. We do not name protected witnesses.
We do not publish post-mortem imagery, distressing clinical photographs, home addresses, phone numbers, family-member identifiers, or other personal data of any person connected to the case.
Some readers reach this site because they question the safety of the convictions. The right way to act on that is to read primary sources, write to your MP, support qualified legal review and respect official processes — not to direct any pressure at the families of the babies. Anyone doing so is acting outside the editorial spirit of this site.
Our pages link to the Thirlwall Inquiry, the CCRC, MPs, regulators and named clinicians. Use of those links to send abuse is unacceptable and counter-productive.
Every page should be readable by someone whose child died on the unit without being gratuitously hurtful. That sometimes requires careful language even where we are critical of named individuals. We will keep editing in that direction.
If a passage on the site fails this policy — for example, by naming a protected witness, by overstating a claim, by lapsing into abusive language — please send a correction. We will fix it and log the change in the changelog.
We are not an advocacy organisation and do not coordinate readers’ behaviour. If you see someone using this site to justify harassment of a family member, witness, juror or clinician, tell us. Sustained abusive contact may also be reported to the police.
