GLOSSARY
A controlled substance is a drug or chemical whose production, possession, supply or use is restricted by law because of its potential for misuse, harm or diversion. In England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, the term is primarily governed by the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and associated regulations, which classify controlled drugs into Classes A, B and C and set out offences and licensing regimes. In Ireland, the Misuse of Drugs Acts 1977–2016 and regulations perform a similar function, with schedules listing controlled drugs.The term covers illicit drugs (such as heroin, cocaine and MDMA) and many prescription medicines (such as certain opioids, benzodiazepines and stimulants) when handled outside lawful authority. It is central to criminal offences (possession, supply, production, importation), regulatory compliance for healthcare and pharmaceutical entities, and professional discipline for clinicians and pharmacists.While specific classifications and schedules differ slightly between the UK and Ireland, the underlying concept and practical usage of “controlled substance” or “controlled drug” are broadly consistent, and practitioners must consult the relevant national legislation and current schedules for precise status.

GLOSSARY
This legal concept has its origins in health and safety case law relating to manslaughter'>corporate manslaughter. In general terms, it is understood as the concept of whether the actions of an individual equate to the “controlling mind” of the company such that the individual should take on the liabilities of the company. The term is frequently used in nuclear and relates more generally to health and safety responsibilities in respect of risk management on a nuclear site. As the holder of the nuclear site licence, the site operator holds specific responsibilities in respect of health, safety and risk management on the nuclear site. The site operator is the only body that can fulfil these responsibilities and therefore any other related company, such as the owner of the site (i.e. NDA in respect of NDA-owned sites), the parent company of the SLC or even contractors entering the site to carry out work on behalf of the SLC, cannot fulfil the role of “controlling mind”. Examples of behaviour which could be interpreted as “controlling mind” by a company other than the site operator could include instructing the operator to take specific decisions in respect of risk management on site without recourse to an authorisation by the licensed operator. This could include binding the operator to certain contractual obligations which affect or restrict the way in which the operator manages risks on site – the consequences of which could be that the instructing entity “steps into the shoes of the controlling mind” and thereby assumes liability by course of action.

Controlling or coercive behaviour offence under the Serious Crime Act 2015 Under SCA 2015, s 76, it is an offence to use controlling or coercive behaviour in an intimate or family relationship where the behaviour has a serious effect on the victim. The offence was created to close a perceived gap in the law relating to patterns of controlling or coercive behaviour that can occur during a relationship between intimate partners, former partners who still live together or family members, where individual instances would not be sufficient to constitute an offence. It also recognises the harm which can be caused by coercion or control, the cumulative impact on the victim and that a repeated pattern
