Support Services

We understand that the subject of the Inquiry may be emotionally challenging for those who have lost a family member or a friend. And that it may also be difficult for those who are or have been mental health patients in Essex. The Inquiry team will treat anyone who comes forward to provide their views with dignity and respect and will offer emotional support around your meetings with the Inquiry team.
