In 2017, Bishop James Jones published a report on the experiences of the families of the 97 people killed in the Hillsborough disaster in 1989.
This is the government response to his report. The response includes:
- the government signing a charter for families bereaved through public tragedy - to be known as the Hillsborough Charter
- introducing legislation for an organisational duty of candour for policing - part of the code of practice for ethical policing laid in Parliament on 6 December 2023
The Chief Coroner also published his response to the report on 6 December 2023.
The national police response was published on 31 January 2023.
