Good debate

All really good points so far.........

I think that the best I can expect is a just culture. If I make an error, that any other similarly trained professional might make, then I do not expect to go to Jail - I expect retraining or other professional sanction. But if I do something negligent, that other professionals would feel just to criticise then I am open to prosecution.

In my view, this is a just safety culture, it encourages open reporting, but is not a blame free culture. I do not expect immunity.

Unfortunately the debate on just cultures becomes very grey very quickly as we all have different interpretations of justice and quite rightly the judiciary and politicians cannot contemplate immunity.
