November virtual hearing
The Lampard Inquiry is holding a virtual Hearing from Monday 25th November to Wednesday 27th November 2024.
The November Hearing will provide a further opportunity for the Inquiry to hear openings, and impact and commemorative accounts from the families and friends of those who have died.
Some of the commemorative accounts will be heard in private, either because that evidence is subject to restrictions under Section 19 of the Inquiries Act 2005 or because individuals have requested that their accounts be heard in this way due to their deeply sensitive and personal content. These private sessions do not diminish the importance of the evidence being provided nor do they undermine the Inquiry’s commitment to transparency. They reflect the Inquiry’s commitment to conducting this process with fairness, sensitivity, and care for all those engaging with the Inquiry.
The Inquiry will not be hearing impact evidence from current or former patients at the November Hearing. The Inquiry is committed to hearing patient voices as part of our work and take seriously our responsibility to ensure their wellbeing and safety. We are reviewing our processes, in-line with our safeguarding responsibilities, for how people in this group will provide evidence to the inquiry and this will be shared in due course.
The Hearing will be live streamed online and those participating will do so remotely. It will start at 10am each day. Please refer to the Hearings page for a copy of the November timetable.
We place the wellbeing of those involved in the Inquiry at the centre of our work and emotional support is available to all those engaging with the Inquiry during this time.
