Online hearing panels are open for attendance by the general public and members of the press.

Members of the public wishing to attend a hearing must consult our Hearings Calendar, and then e-mail the Commission Secretariat, asking to attend, and stating the date and time of the hearing. Tickets are free and will be issued on a ‘first come, first served’ basis, so we advise that requests for places are sent in early. Places for members of the Press are available for every public hearing.

General Public

Members of the public are invited to attend online hearings of the Commission of Inquiry. Numbers are strictly limited. Attendance at hearings will be confirmed by notification in writing but as places are limited, we cannot guarantee every request is met.

You must provide your full name and the date and time of the hearing that you wish to attend. There may be more than one hearing on a particular day, so it vital that you state the time. Please email the Commission Secretariat: office@cidac.org.uk.
