Don’t deny Parents access to DNA & medical records of their deceased children

Petition Details

When parents lose their children, regardless of their age or marital status, parents deserve the right to access any DNA sample including medical records.

Additional Information

Ons.gov.uk have recorded that in the year ending March 2020, female victims were more commonly killed by a partner or ex-partner or a family member.

In 2019 the BBC reported that 173 people were killed in domestic violence-related homicides, according to data obtained by the BBC from 43 police forces across the UK - an increase of 32 deaths on 2017.

In cases where parents are not the official next of kin, parents should be given the right to the information used for identifying their child’s dead body, cause of death and the opening or reopening of cases.
