Suggesting there is an emerging and important focus on social welfare in inquests into death, this article argues that there is value for both social welfare and inquest scholarship in examination of links between the two. Emphasising the process of investigation, it aims to introduce the inquest to social welfare scholars, and proposes an agenda for research. The discussion examines a range of inquests in which questions of social welfare (understood broadly) were examined, including inquests into the death of Jackie Maguire in a care home (see [2023] UKSC 20), the death of Jodey Whiting after her welfare benefits were stopped (in a case brought by her mother, Joy Dove, see [2023] EWCA Civ 289), the death of Awaab Ishak due to mould in his housing association home, and the death of Ella Kissi-Debra which suggested a link between traffic, air pollution and asthma, as well as other cases, including the inquest into the death of Molly Russell which focused on the role of social media.
本文指出，在对死亡事件的死因调查中，社会福利正成为一个新的重要关注点，认为审视两者之间的联系对社会福利和死因调查学术研究都具有价值。本文强调调查过程，旨在向社会福利学者介绍死因调查，并提出一个研究议程。讨论审视了一系列对（广义理解的）社会福利问题进行审查的死因调查，包括对养老院中杰基·马奎尔死亡事件的调查（见[2023] UKSC 20）、乔迪·怀廷福利金停发后死亡事件的调查（在其母亲乔伊·多夫提起的案件中，见[2023] EWCA Civ 289）、阿瓦布·伊沙克在其住房协会住所因霉菌死亡事件的调查，以及埃拉·基西 - 德布拉死亡事件的调查，该事件表明交通、空气污染与哮喘之间存在联系，还有其他一些案件，包括对莫莉·拉塞尔死亡事件的调查，该调查聚焦于社交媒体的作用。
