Statement
We have been made aware of a possible tragic incident involving an individual who has been engaging with the Inquiry.
Our thoughts are with all those who have been affected.
In the interests of transparency, SCAI has commissioned an independent review to consider all aspects of its interactions with the individual. The review will be carried out by Jason Beer KC, an eminent public law silk highly experienced in public inquiries, and head of ‘5 Essex Chambers’, barristers’ chambers in London.
Mr Beer has agreed the terms of reference for the independent review.
