About Let's Be Heard
The Scottish COVID-19 Inquiry launched its listening project, Let's Be Heard: Sharing Scotland's COVID Experience on the 23rd May 2023. Let's Be Heard invites everyone affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in Scotland between 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2022 to share their experiences with the Inquiry. Let’s Be Heard is the main way in which people can contribute to the Inquiry and aims to give a voice to people across Scotland.
The pandemic affected people in different ways, so it is important that we reach and hear from as many different people as possible. Let's Be Heard would therefore be hugely grateful to those that may be able to assist us in encouraging participation in Let's Be Heard by sharing the information shown here with colleagues, groups or member networks in which you are involved.
People can find out more about the Inquiry and Let's Be Heard from the information sheet attached or by visiting lbh.covid19inquiry.scot. Please note we are due to refresh our information sheet in the coming weeks. Whilst all information on it remains accurate, we will highlight any relevant updates on Let's Be Heard on Tuesday.
