You may have heard the Chair, Baroness Hallett, speak of a ‘Listening Project’, anticipated to take place over the coming months. The Chair and her team have already made reference to a listening project, though have not outlined the specifics of what it will involve. It is our goal to ensure that you, the bereaved, are prepared to take part in the Listening Project when invited, if you wish to.
