Kerslake review commissioned

The Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, has commissioned an independent review into the events and aftermath of the terrorist attack at the Manchester Arena on 22 May 2017.

If you wish to share your experiences, or make comment about the response to the terrorist attack at Manchester Arena, you are encouraged to contact the independent team before November 10.

Lord Bob Kerslake, chair of the review panel, has launched a six week period to gather information about the response to the incident and the events in the immediate aftermath.

As part of the review, the team will look at individual organisational debrief reports, particularly from the emergency services and those who attended the incident as well as speaking to those who were involved in the aftermath of the days that followed.

The panel have signed up children’s charity the NSPCC to provide support to the review. If you wish to share your experiences, you can do so through its helpline service. The NSPCC’s Childline service is also available to support children affected by the attack.
