Before Woolwich Crown Court, Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust today pleaded guilty to charges under Sections 2(1) and 3(1) of the Health and Safety at Work Etc Act 1974. This follows a HSE investigation into serious injuries to two members of staff at the Bracton Centre on Bracton Lane, Dartford on 17 July 2016.

This prosecution has been brought by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).

The case is next due to be heard at Woolwich Crown Court on 17 August 2018.

A HSE spokesperson said: “HSE acknowledges the defendant’s guilty plea but will not make a further comment until after sentencing.”

Journalists should approach HSE press office with any queries on regional press releases.
