The wellbeing of those engaging with the Inquiry is important to the Chair and her team.
The Terms of Reference require the Inquiry to examine the circumstances surrounding the Nottingham attacks so as to establish what happened and make recommendations.
We know that thinking and talking about these or similar events can be extremely difficult and can bring back distressing memories and feelings for those affected by them.
That is why the Inquiry contracted Hestia, who are specialists in trauma-informed emotional support, who provided emotional support to Core Participants, witnesses and respondents to our questionnaire.
