What is the essence of a "duty of care"?

Due care. Due diligence. Duty of care.

We hear these terms bandied about.

What do they mean?

What do they have in common?



An interesting insight is gained by looking at what people ask after an incident or a disaster. Especially the questions asked by courts and coronial enquiries.

The key - and complex question is - "what ought you to have KNOWN and DONE, about the RISKS and THEIR MANAGEMENT'?

Good question.
Conversation prompt - Is the key question (what ought you to have known and done about risks and their management) a fair question?
