Critical Report Still Outstanding

​​

​

On 26 March 2026, I was pleased to meet with the Lord Advocate in Glasgow to discuss the ongoing investigation into the death of my husband, Barry.

​

The meeting was constructive and informative, with a commitment to ongoing engagement.

​

My immediate concern remains the continued reliance on a critical fire service report which, more than three years on, has still not been submitted to the Crown. This delay continues to prolong an already deeply traumatic process.

​

Until this report is received, our family cannot reach clarity on what happened to Barry, how and why it happened, or the decision-making and risk assessment processes in place at the time of the Jenners incident.

​

We will continue to ask questions, challenge unreasonable delay, and seek answers, not only for Barry and his children, but to ensure that firefighters' lives are properly valued and protected, and that other families are not left to navigate this process in the same way.

​

Thank you for your continued support.
