Safety Matters

[Witton Park]

Keith ,

Your assertion is wrong. The FRA has never claimed this. It would not be true.

What is correct is that SHR (along with WFRA, NIMRA, BOFRA, etc), were sent copies of various drafts of the FRA Safety Requirements during 2013 through, at the time, Bruce Smith.

Given that WFRA and SHR are independent organisations of UKA/FRA the matter of "endorsement" would not arise and, as we both know, the FRA and SHR Handbooks have been different for some time .

Really - did the FRA not advise the Coroner that The Safety Requirements for Fell Races and Rules for Competition

• Will be adopted by the other 6 Home Nation bodies
• That those 6 bodies had been consulted
• That those 6 bodies saw the FRA as the leader in the sport.
• That those 6 bodies welcomed the new document

So either the Coroner was mislead, as he was advised of this unanimous endorsement following a consultation process.

or

We are now being mislead as you say only copies of the drafts were sent out and endorsement was never claimed.
