Today, coroner Andrew Haigh said: ‘I am struck by the excessive micromanagement of Rose and the county council’s insensitivity to Rose’s needs.’ The work load was becoming too much and she was not getting commendation for work done. She was harshly talked to and badly addressed. The coroner was told Mrs Corden was expected to deliver daily colour-coded charts showing what she and her team were doing every day.
She was also expected to respond to queries on the chart, keep a track of her team as well as complete her own daily work. A note on her body also made reference to a ‘brutal’ staff meeting in which personal comments were made about her. One included criticism that she had bought flowers for someone who was upset at work, suggesting she should ‘stop trying to buy friends.’ The inquest heard Mrs Corden had attended her GP in September complaining that she was experiencing low moods, was under pressure and feeling stressed at work. She was also concerned about her memory, although an assessment revealed that nothing was wrong. Giving evidence, former colleague Claire Goodey said: ‘Rose had loved her job. But they kept increasing her responsibilities and not reflecting that in her pay.’ After the hearing, Mrs Corden’s husband Martin said: ‘I am pleased at the comments of the coroner, as pleased as I am able to be. ‘Rose was a wonderful person and it was just the stress of work that led to this tragedy.’ A council spokesman said: ‘We have co-operated with all requests of HM Coroner. We will now take time to carefully consider the coroner’s verdict and observations. ‘It would therefore be inappropriate to make any further comment at this time.’
