About INQUEST

INQUEST is a charity that provides a free advice service to bereaved people on contentious deaths and their investigation with a particular focus on deaths in custody. Casework also informs our research, parliamentary, campaigning and policy work.

What people say about INQUEST

INQUEST’s briefings are such that parliamentarians from both houses will attend, and crucially from all parties. They command huge respect throughout parliament. — Lord David Ramsbotham, former HM Chief Inspector of Prisons
