UK Covid-19 Inquiry

Harding Evans have been appointed as the Recognised Legal Representative for ‘Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice Cymru’, who have been granted Core Participant status in the Covid-19 UK Public Inquiry. 

Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice Cymru have been granted core participant status in Module 1, Module 2, Module 2B and Module 3. In broad terms:

• Module 1 will examine the UK’s resilience and preparedness for the coronavirus pandemic
• Module 2 will look at, and make recommendations upon, the UK’s core political and administrative decision-making in relation to the Covid-19 pandemic between early January 2020 until February 2022
• Module 2B will examine the decision-making of key groups and individuals within the government in Wales including the First Minister and other Welsh Ministers.
• Module 3 will look into the governmental and societal response to Covid-19 as well as dissecting the impact that the pandemic had on healthcare systems, patients and health care workers.

With UK Covid-19 Public Inquiry already underway, we are working with ‘Covid-19 Bereaved Families for Justice Cymru’, to assist them in their efforts to ensure that they are able to take part in the Inquiry and that the voices of the bereaved in Wales are heard.

One of the key objectives is to seek greater transparency and accountability of the events that impacted, not only those who sadly died in Wales, but the families they have left behind.

We have instructed a team of Wales and London based barristers who are highly specialised in English and Welsh law and policy (and public inquiry work).

Therefore, should you wish to be represented at the Inquiry, please see how you can get involved below.

Anyone who has lost a loved one to Covid-19 in Wales is able to join the Group and benefit from legal representation by Harding Evans. Such legal representation will be at no cost to you.
