How can I engage with the Inquiry? 

Everyone in Scotland has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic so it is right that everyone has the opportunity to engage with the Inquiry.  

As the Inquiry progresses, everyone will have the opportunity to: 

• participate in the Inquiry's listening project, Let's Be Heard, and tell the Inquiry about their experience of the COVID-19 pandemic in Scotland and the lessons they believe should be learned so we are better prepared in future; 

• keep up to date with the Inquiry’s progress via our newsletters;

• respond to any requests issued by the Inquiry for written evidence and documentation; 

• view public hearings when they start, which the Inquiry intends to livestream and make available online (except for any hearings held in private); 

• read transcripts of public hearings and any documents (including expert reports); 

• read any witness statements; 

• where invited by the Inquiry, give evidence as a witness at a public hearing; and 

• read records and documents published by the Inquiry as part of its investigation, and its reports. 

Some parties will also take part in the Inquiry as core participants. To find out more information, please visit the core participant section of the website.
