News: Mock trial aims to raise awareness of corporate responsibility and road risk
A mock trial is taking place in Rotherham later this month to help make businesses aware of their responsibilities, and also the consequences of their actions, when it comes to using vehicles for work.
The South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership in association with ignition rm and Irwin Mitchell Solicitors is organising a free of charge, half day event for local businesses.
The April 10 event will cover the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act to ensure businesses have the correct policies, management strategies and training/staff development programmes in place.
The event will take place at the innovative Lifewise Centre at Hellaby in Rotherham, which is used by South Yorkshire Police and partners as an interactive learning centre to deliver safety advice.
Part of the event is a realistic mock trial, which gives attendees a taste of what appearing in court actually feels like. After the sentencing of the company or individual, there is the opportunity for an open session of questions and answers to the panel of specialists.
Mike Stanley, South Yorkshire Theme Lead for driving at work, said: "Every single business uses vehicles for work, whether they use directors cars, company provided cars and vans, through to employees using their own vehicle to travel around on business.
"There are a lot of misconceptions about what businesses should and should not do in respect to managing their occupational road risk. This important event will make businesses aware of their responsibilities and also the consequences of their actions and how it could affect their business, staff and family.
"At this unique event attendees will have the opportunity to take advantage of specialist help to ensure their business has correct policies, management strategies and training/staff development programmes in place."
