Tips for working with other families

We thought that we were going insane, we couldn't understand what was happening to us, what had happened to my son. INQUEST has supported, enabled, educated and empowered and restored our faith in justice. We were given back our voice. – Family member

  • Before getting involved think about how much time and commitment you want to give. Use some of the tools in Section 1 to help you plan.
  • Don’t worry about specific skills (although if you have specialist knowledge that would be great), try and identify things that you can do to get involved.
  • Talk to people: the Family Forum and other groups that meet through INQUEST give you the chance to talk to others and to come up with some ideas that might be useful in the future.
  • If you are happy to share your contact information then families can stay in touch independently.
  • Welcome the chance to share your feelings with other families who understand your experience.
