Kayden Walker died after the boogie boarding session with a church group on the River Tay in Perthshire

The 12-year-old, from Bridgeton, Glasgow, had been on a day trip with other children near Stanley village on 28 July 2019. Children were going over the weir, which has a slightly raised water level on the upstream side, on the boards between two Church House employees.A helicopter arrived on the scene to take Kayden to hospital

The director of the company was able to pull him from the water and immediately began performing CPR while at least one other adult phoned the ambulance service. Debbie Carroll, COPFS lead for health and safety investigations, said the firm’s failures had resulted in “devastating consequences”.
