Family campaigns
Families often tell us that when someone they love has died in state custody or care, they want to make sure that it doesn’t happen again. We’ve compiled some helpful resources all about campaigning and fighting for change.
Podcast: Unlawful Killing
Unlawful Killing is a multi-award-nominated podcast series shining a light on state violence, death, grief and resistance. Lucy Brisbane and Lee Lawrence, advocate and son of Cherry Groce, are in conversation with other bereaved families at the forefront of these stories.
Family Listening Days
INQUEST Family Listening Days are an important way for families with direct experience of deaths involving the state and related investigations to tell those with power the impact on them and what needs to change. If you'd like to know more about the experiences of other families, this is a good place to start.
Write a blog post
A more informal way to speak about a loved one's death is to write a blog post for our website. This can be a helpful way to express the emotional and practical difficulties of dealing with the death of a loved one and the legal investigations and processes that follow.
