Kirandip Bharaj, known to her family and friends as Kiran, had a history of complex mental health issues
The family of a Blackpool woman who died in a house fire have said a ‘lack of accountability’, combined with a lack of understanding and training about eating disorders across the local NHS trust and the local authority, had left her ‘at risk and vulnerable’.
The court also heard that the council's adult social care team hadn't received specific training about eating disorders which left them ill-equipped to help Kiran. This is still the case four years later. The inquest determined that Kiran died of accidental death. The coroner further stated that there was a failure to sufficiently assess the status of Kiran’s eating disorder during this assessment, and that the assessment was ‘inadequate’. It was found that Kiran's weight could have been stabilised if she'd been admitted to hospital. The coroner also recorded that when social care professionals attended Kiran’s home on September 10, 2019 and weighed her, her weight had reduced further.
Speaking on their behalf following the hearing their lawyer, Aimee Brackfield from Simpson Millar Solicitors, said they were ‘utterly heartbroken’ by the catalogue of failings in the care that had come to light during the inquest. The family had also been left disappointed that it took a coroner to direct the council to take necessary steps to safeguard life in the future.
