Lydia Bishop death – York College fined £175,000
The York College has been fined £175,000 and ordered to pay £45,000 in court costs over the death of Lydia Bishop at its nursery.
It is unclear where the money to pay the fine, from the publicly funded College, will come from.
There has been speculation that – now that the trial has concluded – major changes to the management and governance structure at the College will take place.
The nursery has already been permanently closed.
