Care provider fined £450,000 for health and safety breaches, following death of a vulnerable adult.
The Richmond Fellowship Scotland, has been fined after being found guilty of health and safety breaches after a vulnerable adult
with severe learning difficulties drowned in a bath.
Glasgow Sherriff’s Court heard that at Cherry Tree Court in Cambuslang, Glasgow, one of the residents, a vulnerable adult with
severe learning difficulties, drowned in a bath within her flat in the early hours of the morning.
The Richmond Fellowship had supplied a baby monitor to alert support workers that resident was out of bed but an HSE
investigation found that it was neither suitable nor sufficient as she was so light on her feet.
