Core Participants

A Core Participant is someone who plays a key role in an inquiry process. They
may receive disclosure of evidence, make opening and closing statements, and suggest lines of questioning for witnesses.

Baroness Lampard CBE, Chair of the Lampard Inquiry, is inviting applications from those with a significant interest in the matters being investigated, such as Essex based families of mental health inpatients who have died, current and former mental health staff, and organisations providing inpatient services.

Baroness Lampard opened the initial application process for Core Participant status at 2pm on Monday 22 April. This will be open for four weeks until midnight Monday 20 May.
