MPA Statement - IPCC decision not to discipline DAC Cressida Dick

70/07
21 December 2007

The MPA welcomes the IPCC decision that no disciplinary action be taken against DAC Cressida Dick, which accords with the MPA's recommendation.

The IPCC decision also reflects the rider, requested by the jury in the Health and Safety trial, which vindicated DAC Dick with their unequivocal statement that no personal culpability be attached to her.

In its submission to the IPCC the Authority emphasised that they considered throughout the operation she acted and gave commands with due professional skill, care and responsibility. For these reasons the Authority decided that no disciplinary proceedings should be brought against her.
