REPRESENTATIVES of Lifeways Community Care, which ran an Oxford care home where a disabled teenage girl was scalded in bath water and later died, are due to appear in court on Friday.
The Health & Safety Executive is bringing an action against the London company for alleged breaches of the Health & Safety at Work Act, and Provision and Use of Equipment Regulations.
Last year, three Lifeways staff were told they would not face criminal charges after Yelena Hasselberg-Langley, 18, from Abingdon, died in hospital from burns, four days after she was lowered into a bath at the home in Owens Way, Cowley, in 2007.
