The Inquiry Chair, Baroness Heather Hallett has announced that a listening exercise will take place. This will enable the Inquiry to hear from thousands of people across the UK, about what happened to them during the pandemic.
Together with the other Core Participants, the #LongCovid Groups will work closely with the Inquiry team to ensure that:
➡️ It’s clear how to get involved
➡️ The listening exercise is accessible to all
We thank Baroness Hallett for her assurance that reasonable adjustments will be made both in terms of:
➡️ Access to the Inquiry proceedings
➡️ Publications of evidence
We stand with @CovidJusticeUK in seeking justice for lost and radically changed lives and to safeguard the future.
