INQUEST assists with Bishop James Jones's review of Hillsborough families' experiences

In April 2016, an inquest concluded that the 96 people who died in the Hillsborough disaster were unlawfully killed, overturning the verdict of accidental death at the original inquest (1990-1991).

A landmark ruling from the longest jury case in British history, the new inquests began on 31 March 2014 in Birchwood, Warrington and ended on 26 April 2016.

Following this, Bishop James Jones was commissioned to conduct a review into the experience of the Hillsborough families. The review, The Patronising Disposition of Unaccountable Power, was partly informed by INQUEST's work, including a Family Listening Day that came up with 14 recommendations. Many of these were part of Bishop James's 'Points of Learning', from legal aid to the use of pen portraits in all corners' courts.

Listen to Phil Scraton and Terry Munyard's oral histories to learn more about the Hillsborough disaster.
