Christmas Pantomime

SHEF(S) Christmas Special, in association with the HSLA and Simpson & Marwick filled the McGill Theatre at Strathclyde Fire & Rescue Headquarters. The event even merited a mention in The Herald. One of Santa's Elves had an accident at work, both he and Santa give evidence before the Sheriff. What will the outcome be? A fantastic look at legislation with a funny Christmas flavour.

Review of Fatal Accident Inquiries (FAIs) in Scotland
