Fund legal aid for all families at inquests for deaths following police contact

Petition Details

My son died after contact with South Yorkshire Police. The Inquest was horrendous and we had no legal representation as we could not afford this, so I as the grieving mother and no legal training had to facilitate at my son’s inquest. The police had a solicitor.

Additional Information

The Government needs to fund legal aid for all families who attend inquests for the death of a family member following contact with police, so that they have the legal advice and support they need to understand and contribute to proceedings.
