News about Sarah Waters

The UK's workplace health and safety watchdog has ordered that all work-related suicides be investigated.

Ruth Perry, the headteacher, died in January after taking her own life. Her family believes that her family was killed as a result of an Ofsted visit.

In an article in the British Medical Journal, Professor Martin McKee of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and University of Leeds Professor Sarah Waters made the call.
