Thanks, @NoraMulready, for your Q regarding trauma-informed confidential sessions.
Hearing from people with lived experience is absolutely central to the Inquiry – and there are many ways for people to input in whatever way they feel comfortable.

The Inquiry is keen to hear from those with any personal or professional experience care (of any age).
More info can be found in the call for evidence guidance: https://t.co/E7vguaULhQ.
This is not commissioned nor funded by the Care Review.
To clarify, this is not a replacement for the #CareReview.
The Spotlight Inquiry is intended to generate useful evidence designed to both inform the review and create a legacy of insight & practice beyond the review.
One review, though incredibly important, can't do everything.
The APPG is a cross-party group of MPs and Peers with an interest in improving the care system (for which Become provides secretariat duties). The online evidence sessions will be chaired by an MP from that region.
