Is failure to render assistance to a person in danger a crime in the UK?

Yes, it is. ----- Actually, no its not. In the UK there is no legal duty to be a hero and carry out acts of rescue. There may be a moral or public duty, but the law will not blame you if you do not act. However, in some specific cases, failing to render assistance can be manslaughter if the person dies as a result. This happens when the potential rescuer is under a duty to act but does not. Such a duty might arise in many ways, for example, if you have care of a young person (parent or teacher), if you have taken on caring responsibilities for a sick person, if you are contracted to have a professional responsibility (e.g. as a doctor, paramedic, coastguard or many others), or are under a general legal duty (e.g. as a police officer). In these circumstances failing to render assistance can constitute manslaughter by gross negligence. It should be noted that even if people are under a duty, they are still not required to take risks with their own safety. For example, the duty to a sick person might be discharged just by calling an ambulance rather than by administering first-aid.
