Public Inquiries

Hestia provides trauma-informed support to individuals involved in public inquiries, including for core participants, witnesses, and staff members.

Recognising that public inquiries can be highly stressful and potentially re-traumatising experiences, Hestia has developed a specialist framework designed to promote emotional containment, stabilisation, and psychological safety. Through its services, Hestia offers individuals a safe and confidential environment to explore their feelings, develop techniques for managing distress, and establish strategies to maintain their emotional wellbeing before, during, and after their engagement with inquiries.

The sections below provide information about the inquiry-related support offered by Hestia - both current and past - along with contact details for individuals seeking access to these services.

For further details about our support offerings for the Inquiry, please contact Ben Kingscott, Hestia’s Therapeutic Interventions Lead.
