Talk To Thompsons
Call
At Thompson’s we would like to reassure all our clients that as far as possible we are operating as normal. The health and safety of our staff and clients is our primary concern during this outbreak and as such we are reviewing the situation on a regular basis and will be adapting our working practices following government guidelines. However, we have had to make some minor changes to how we are doing things.
Following Government guidelines, we have temporarily closed all of our offices and our staff are now all working from home using secure technologies to ensure they are able to continue to progress with existing and new cases as normal. All face to face meetings have been cancelled, however we are continuing to hold these meetings via phone and video calls. All the team are contactable on their direct dial numbers and email should you need to speak with your solicitor, please do not hesitate to talk to us about anything during this time.
We know these are uncertain and unsettling times for many of our clients, and the wider population, and things might look a little different for the foreseeable future. But our focus remains on our dedication, knowledge and strength that we provide to all our clients. We will continue to provide updates over the coming days and weeks in accordance with official guidelines and to keep everyone informed of the situation.
As always, for any concerns, advice and updates on your case; Talk to Thompsons.

It has recently been reported in the press that ten members of staff at a hospital in Essex have been suspended followed reports that patients were “dragged, slapped and kicked”. The hospital, which is a mental health unit, was alleged to have subjected patients to both physical and emotional abuse. The incidents were investigated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) who found that that the residents of the hospital were subjected to poor care as well as abuse. The police are now investigating the incidents of abuse. The allegations of abuse come after the CQC implemented special measures on the facility at the end of 2019 after it was found that there was inadequate leadership, oversight of safety and poor quality of service. The facility was clearly experiencing difficulties for some time, which raises the question as to why things were allowed to get so bad in this facility?

However, as with most other socially interactive technologies such as social media, there is a danger that the law could be left behind again - this time by autonomous vehicles.
