At the Lampard Inquiry, @LilianLewis delivered INQUEST’s opening statement, highlighting the need to thoroughly examine the deaths of mental health inpatients in Essex and to prevent future deaths through a National Oversight Mechanism.

INQUEST cites "toxic culture" & "abject failure in candour, data collection & governance on the part of the trust" at Lampard Inquiry. Charlotte Haworth Hird & Amy Ooi at BM act for @INQUEST_ORG instructing @LilianLewis @AnnaMorrisGClaw @gcnchambers https://t.co/Q9d0ecXqs6

[INQUEST @INQUEST_ORG]

Next Monday, a statutory public inquiry will open into the deaths of mental health inpatients in Essex.

Without the courage, persistence and determination of bereaved families and survivors campaigning - the inquiry would not be happening.

Campaigners have told #spycops public inquiry the long-running infiltration of the Greenham Common women’s peace campaign by an undercover police unit was a “ridiculous waste of money and an outrageous intrusion”. https://t.co/2HsytWYdzo

I have previously written about the need for a National Oversight Mechanism. I am passionate about the work my team and I do on major inquests and public inquiries but without someone making sure that the recommendations are actually implemented, much needed changes will 1/3

[Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice UK @CovidJusticeUK]

A Hillsborough Law will make it harder for public bodies + officials to lie to Inquiries and victims.

This is a step towards justice for all current and future victims of the state. We owe a debt of gratitude to everyone who has campaigned for decades to make this happen.

[Lily Lewis @LilianLewis]

A Hillsborough Law would be an important step towards tackling this, and building a culture in which public bodies openly and honestly address failings in the aftermath of tragedies. It should be an immediate priority for the next government.

[Lily Lewis @LilianLewis]

Just this week the Infected Blood Inquiry found that the harms done to those affected were compounded by: “A lack of openness, transparency and candour, shown by the NHS and government, such that the truth has been hidden for decades.”🧵

[Deborah Coles @DebatINQUEST]

Delay, denial and defensiveness is the default response to those bereaved after state related deaths, more concerned with reputation management than learning and accountability. Good to see @HumanRightsCtte support #HillsboroughLaw to end this shocking injustice @NowHillsborough

[Lily Lewis @LilianLewis]

Lawyers representing the bereaved at inquests see the awful consequences of this play out again and again; a lack of institutional openness and learning mean repeated inquests expose the same failures.

Great to see so many brilliant legal aid lawyers recognised here, not least the amazing @MiraHammad10 🌟 🌟🌟
