  • Review of the Legal Responsibility for Beach Safety
    Review of the legal responsibility for beach safety January 2019 for the Maritime and Coastguard Agency 67744745-3 Contents Executive Summary 3 Part 1: Introduction - what is a beach and what are the risks? 18 Part 2: Who are the duty holder(s) in a beach environment? 33 Part 3: What duties are owed? 43 Part 4: Are the existing duties sufficient? 94 Part 5: Conclusions and recommendations 122 67744745-3 Legal Responsibility for Beach Safety Executive Summary In the UK there are, on average, almost two drowning deaths per week. When aggregated, drowning and water suicide on the coast and inland account for 600 deaths annually; in excess of twice the number attributed to fire. It is accepted that those who undertake risky activities do so at their own risk. However, at present, the legal responsibility for safety at the foreshore is unclear with many competing duties. It also appears that there may be a lacuna in legal responsibility which leaves those with land or Councils adjacent to the foreshore acting out of largely moral and social responsibility rather than legal obligation. This report considers the legal framework and responsibility for water safety at the beach and offers recommendations for change. As is often the case, this report has its genesis in tragedy and forms part of the actions agreed by the Secretary of State for Transport following the Inquest into the deaths of seven men at Camber Sands. While commissioned by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency ('MCA'), it is important to stress that this report and its findings are entirely independent from the MCA.
