The Inquiry will use roundtables as one method of gathering information for Module 10, to enable a diverse range of organisations to provide their perspectives on the societal impact of the pandemic.

The Inquiry is committed to conducting an evidence-based investigation into the societal impact of the pandemic. This work will involve gathering information and evidence from a wide range of sources to ensure that the experiences of individuals, communities and organisations are fully captured.

The Inquiry will use roundtables as one method of gathering information for Module 10, to enable a diverse range of organisations to provide their perspectives on the societal impact of the pandemic. A total of nine roundtables are planned, with the first being held in February 2025 and the final roundtable due to take place in June 2025. 

The roundtable events will cover the following topics:

  • The Faith groups and places of worship roundtable will examine the experiences of religious institutions and faith communities due to closures and restrictions on worship, and adaptations during the pandemic.
  • The Key workers roundtable will hear from organisations representing key workers across a wide range of sectors about the unique pressures and risks they faced during the pandemic.
  • The Domestic abuse support and safeguarding roundtable will engage with organisations that support victims and survivors of domestic abuse to understand how lockdown measures and restrictions impacted access to support services and their ability to provide assistance to those that needed it the most.
  • The Funerals, burials, and bereavement support roundtable will explore the effects of restrictions on funerals and how bereaved families navigated their grief during the pandemic.
  • The Justice system roundtable will address the impact on those in prisons and detention centres, and those affected by court closures and delays.
  • The Hospitality, retail, travel, and tourism industries roundtable will engage with business leaders to examine how closures, restrictions and reopening measures impacted these critical sectors.
  • The Community-level sport and leisure roundtable will investigate the impact of restrictions on community level sports, fitness and recreational activities.
  • The Cultural institutions roundtable will seek to investigate the effects of closures and restrictions on museums, theatres and other cultural institutions.
  • The Housing and homelessness roundtable will explore how the pandemic affected housing insecurity, eviction protections and homelessness support services.

Each roundtable will result in an evidence report to be provided to the Chair, Baroness Hallett, before publication on the Inquiry website. These reports, along with other evidence collected, will help inform the Chair’s findings and recommendations.
