Kimberley’s Law

18/06/2026

In 2021, Kimberley's voice was silenced.

Today, the legal gap exposed by her death is being considered as part of the biggest review of homicide law in England and Wales.

For too long, families affected by failures to seek emergency help have felt unheard. Today, those voices are helping to shape the conversation on law reform.

As we explained in our previous post, the issue at the heart of Kimberley's Law is now being formally considered by the Law Commission.
We are asking our supporters to take part in the consultation and make their voices heard.

In particular, please consider responding to Consultation Question 14 (paragraph 10.91 of the consultation paper):

"We invite consultees' views on the need and justifications for a bespoke offence in cases in which there has been a culpable failure to seek medical assistance or intervention and death results."

Our answer is clear: Yes!

No family should be left wondering why help was never called. No one should be able to ignore an obvious medical emergency without accountability when a life could have been saved.

This is an opportunity to help shape the future of the law and ensure Kimberley's legacy leads to meaningful change.

Please take a few minutes to complete the questionnaire and share your views.

📢 IMPORTANT UPDATE ON KIMBERLEY'S LAW

As many of you know, in September 2025 we submitted evidence to the Law commission regarding Kimberley’s Law, as part of the homicide law review.

Today we received an official update from the Law Commission regarding its review.

We are pleased to share that the Law Commission has published its first consultation paper and, significantly, it includes consideration of cases where someone dies following a culpable failure to seek medical assistance or intervention.

✨ For those who have supported Kimberley's Law, this is an important development. ✨

After Kimberley died in February 2021, emergency services were not called for more than 30 hours. We have campaigned for a legal duty requiring people to seek emergency help in obvious life-threatening situations, so that other families do not face the same devastating circumstances.

The Law Commission's consultation paper specifically discusses proposals for a "Duty to Rescue” style offence and asks consultees whether there should be a new criminal offence where there has been a culpable failure to seek medical assistance and a death results.

Even more significantly, Kimberley's Law is referenced within the consultation paper itself as part of the evidence informing this discussion.

Whilst this does Not mean the law has changed, it does mean that the issue at the heart of Kimberley's Law is now being formally considered as part of a national review of homicide law.

This is an important step forward, and we are incredibly grateful to everyone who signed the petition, shared Kimberley's story, contacted MPs, and supported our campaign.
Please continue to share Kim’s story and we will continue to engage with the consultation process and push for meaningful reform in Kimberley's memory. 🩵

Proposed Duty To Rescue Law

Read below our proposed Duty To Rescue Law, written by Professor Amel Alghrani. ⬇️

This is easy and safe to implement and will ensure that the failed and outdated duty of care laws, do not affect any more families.

We are demanding LAW REFORM ‼️

In the UK, only those with a Duty of Care are compelled to call for help in a medical emergency 🚨
(Nurses, teachers, parents etc)

This loophole means that you can stand by and leave someone to die without consequences.

We believe everyone should be asked to call 999 in an obvious, life threatening, emergency or in the event of a death - no one should be able to stand by and do nothing!

Kimberley was left for over 30 hours after her death. The delay cost Kim her life and meant our family could get no answers, no closure and no justice.

Please read Kimberley’s story, and read the proposed Duty to Rescue Law that we are fighting for, on our page. 🩵🩵
