Reports and publications

INQUEST produces a range of publications, from the books and in depth research reports below, to short reports, consultation and inquiry submissions, and policy briefings. We also produce the  Inquest law journal, a regular newsletter and regular blogs. 

Many of INQUEST’s publications and a large archive of our media releases are available for free, making a valuable resource for the media, academics, students, and those with an interest in the human rights issues our casework raises. If you regularly access and use the INQUEST website for information, please consider supporting our work. 

COMMISSION US

INQUEST organises training sessions, events and listening days which utilise the expertise of our staff and lawyers group, and the invaluable input of the bereaved families we work with. Findings from these events make up significant parts of our reports, and have contributed to the work of a range of organisations. If you are interested in finding out more or organising a training day, family listening day, speaker or writing from INQUEST contact us.
