1 When a coroner investigates
A coroner investigates when:
- deaths are violent or unnatural
- the cause of death is unknown
- the person died in prison, police custody or other state detention
More information on what happens when a death is reported to a coroner, post-mortems and inquests is available on GOV.UK.
2 Court facilities and support
Court layout:
- the coroner will sit at the front of the room
- the witness desk and coroner’s officer desk will be at the front of the room either side of the coroner
- legal representatives will sit at desks facing the coroner
- if there is a jury, they will normally be seated to one side of the room so that they have a clear view of the witness desk, the legal representatives and the coroner
- family members of the deceased will normally sit behind the legal representatives
Opening hours
Doors are only open to the public when the court is in session.

Accommodation
The Coroners Court is open to members of the public. However, accommodation at Woodvale Coroner’s Court is limited, therefore priority will always be given to family, other interested persons and witnesses.
Where there is likely to be a large number of attendees, alternative venues will be used.
If you wish to attend any particular inquest it would be helpful if you could give an indication in advance of the hearing. In certain circumstances, and at the discretion of the Coroner, it may be possible to facilitate attendance via Microsoft Teams. To notify us of your attendance, or to request video attendance to an inquest, contact the Coroner's Office.
Please do not attend the Court if you are experiencing any coronavirus symptoms.
Coroner’s Court support service
Emotional and practical support to families and witnesses attending inquests can be found on the Coroners' Courts Support Service website.
We are delighted to announce that the Coroner Court Support volunteers have been honoured by the High Sherriff of West Sussex in recognition of the great and valuable services they provide to the community of West Sussex. The awards ceremony was held on Thursday 21 March 2024.
I have visited so many incredible organisations and charities which make such an impact on people’s lives. I was able to select a few which are representative of those who quietly do so much to keep people safe and well and to help them thrive and enjoy life.
My congratulations to all of those organisations which received recognition certificates. They are richly deserved. Thank you for making our wonderful county a better place in which to live and visit.
The High Sheriff
I am so very proud of the volunteers who make up the Coroners Court Support Service. They selflessly give up their time to provide practical and emotional support to families and witnesses who attend the coroners court for the inquests of their loved ones. They provide this support to families at what is a very difficult time in their lives. They really do make a difference.

4 Types of inquests
Opening
The coroner formally opens an inquest in public. At the opening, the coroner will set the dates for subsequent hearings. In some cases, the inquest will conclude on the same day as it is opened (known as single hearing inquests).
Full inquest
A fact-finding inquiry held in court to establish who has died and how, when and where the death occurred. They can be held with our without a jury. Witnesses may be called to give evidence.
Pre-inquest review hearing
An administrative hearing held before the final inquest hearing. Where procedural issues are dealt with in preparation for the inquest.
Documentary inquest
Where evidence is not in dispute and no witnesses need to be called, a summary of the evidence is read to the court and the coroner will arrive at their conclusion on the basis of the documents alone.
Inquests in writing
These inquests are conducted on the basis of documentary evidence and do not require a court hearing. The coroner will provide a written note of their conclusion. Inquests in writing will be listed at 9.00am on the Monday of each week. However, they may be concluded at any time during that week.
Emotional and practical support to families and witnesses attending inquests can be found on the Coroners' Courts Support Service website.
5 Dates of upcoming inquests
Information about attending an inquest is available on our media enquiries and inquest attendance pages.

7 Media enquiries and inquest attendance
Contact details for the West Sussex County Council press office.
Information for journalists
The West Sussex, Brighton & Hove Coroner’s Office maintains an open and transparent relationship with the media.
Journalists and representatives of accredited media organisations are free to attend and report on inquest proceedings at open hearings.
All media enquiries for the West Sussex, Brighton & Hove Coroner’s Office are handled by the Communications & Engagement Team of West Sussex County Council.
The following protocol is intended to help journalists seeking information from the coroner’s office.
Find further information on our Press Office contacts web page.
Attending an inquest
Details of scheduled inquests can be viewed online up to 60 days in advance.
View the list of upcoming inquestsYou will find details of the name of the deceased person, their age, date and place of death, as well as the date, location, type of inquest and name of the coroner who will be conducting it.
In person: If you wish to attend an inquest you can find directions, public transport links, parking and details of court facilities.
Remotely: Most inquest hearings are held in person and are not remote, therefore no remote link will be available. However, where it has already been determined by a coroner that a hearing is to be a remote hearing or a hybrid hearing (a partially remote hearing), then any accredited member of the press wishing to observe those inquest proceedings remotely may apply for permission by completing our online form.
Any request must be made 48 hours before the hearing is due to be heard. To avoid any doubt, if the hearing is listed for more than one day, then any request to attend all or any part of the hearing remotely must be made 48 hours before the first day of the hearing.
Information after a hearing or inquest concludes
At the conclusion of an inquest, the coroner’s office can provide to the media, on request, a copy of the Record of Inquest.
The coroner’s office is not obliged to produce transcripts of hearings, and therefore is unable to fact-check or confirm routine details of what was said in open court for media who are unable to attend.
General information about inquest proceedings
The coroner’s office will only provide details of cases to the media that are in the public domain and a matter of public record.
In most cases the coroner’s office will only provide and/or confirm details to the media when the name of the relevant individual is provided.
If the name of the individual is not publicly known, or the journalist is unable to provide a name, we ask that as much information as possible is shared to enable the office to identify the correct case.
It will be for the coroner’s office to decide whether the information provided is sufficient to correctly identify a case. Without a name, the coroner may decline the request or request further information to clarify.
Comment and interview requests for the coroner
The Chief Coroner’s guidance to coroners sets out that like other judges, coroners are not permitted to comment outside a courtroom on any of their cases (or indeed any other coroner’s cases) or discuss any decision they have made. Therefore, any requests to interview the coroner regarding inquests will usually be declined.
This protocol is only for enquiries from accredited journalists and representatives of accredited media organisations. It is not to be used for enquiries from members of the public. Members of the public can contact the coroner’s office.
You can find more information on GOV.UK about coroner services and coroner investigations.
