INQUEST is a small charity with an incredibly busy team. In this news section we report updates on our cases, campaigns, policy work and media work.

The experiences of the families we work alongside informs every area of our work. The family accounts provided here help to build public awareness of the challenges facing the criminal justice, immigration, mental health system and other state services. 

INQUEST also issues regular media releases. You can view the archive here: Media Releases
