Overview
Public Inquiries – How to Prepare Your Organisation
Intro
Public inquiries have become a firm fixture in public life in the UK. From sweeping statutory investigations like the COVID-19 Inquiry, Grenfell Tower, and Infected Blood, to focused probes into high-profile legal cases such as the Thirlwall Inquiry into Lucy Letby’s crimes and the Angiolini Inquiry into the murder of Sarah Everard—these processes are reshaping how we understand accountability, safety, and trust in public services.
Why it matters
Governments of all political stripes have commissioned inquiries across a wide range of policy areas. NHS organisations and public authorities are increasingly called upon to respond - submitting evidence, preparing witnesses, and navigating complex legal and reputational terrain. Often, it’s corporate governance teams who take on this responsibility, having to work in fast pace and high stakes environments.
Who is it for
This webinar is designed for corporate governance professionals and corporate teams on the frontline of inquiry response - who need to understand not just how inquiries work, but how to respond effectively to them, ensure transparency and support staff at all levels.
Through insights from leading legal professionals and an exemplar case study from the NHS, participants will gain understanding of the nuts and bolts – must dos, common pitfalls to avoid, and strategic factors.
