FORMATION OF INVESTIGATION PANEL FOR LEVEL 5 BOARD LEVEL INQUIRY2.1 The Chief Executive is responsible for designating a single individual responsible forleading an investigation into the incident.

The panel wouldnormally include a representative from the Executive and Non Executive Team, MedicalProfession, Nursing profession, Governor and the specialty involved in the incident.Generally these individuals would be employed in the Trust but there may be someinstances where external specialist advice may need to be sought eg if there are no otherTrust employees of sufficient seniority in the area/speciality concerned.2.5 The Chief Executive in conjunction with the Service Director will seek advice and guidancefrom other agencies where the incident may necessitate Police investigation or where theincident involves child protection issues to ensure that the internal inquiry does notjeopardize other investigations.
