Phase 2 closing statements 

The Inquiry will reopen in the week commencing Monday 7 November for overarching closing statements for Phase 2. Further information on this, including the confirmed hearings schedule, will be published nearer to the time.

Monthly community drop-in sessions 

The Inquiry will hold drop-in sessions every quarter for BSRs and the local community to attend throughout the report writing stage. These sessions are also an opportunity for members of the public to learn more about the Inquiry process and to ask any questions that they may have for members of the Inquiry team.

The Inquiry plans to hold the next drop-in session at a community venue local to the North Kensington area in October. Further details on this will be published on the Inquiry’s website in due course.

Disclosure figures

As at 25 August, the Inquiry has disclosed 20,752 documents in Phase 1 and 299,266 in Phase 2, making a total of 320,018. 

Core Participant figures

The full list of the Inquiry's core participants (CPs) is available on the key documents page. Further information on CPs is covered in our guide, which includes details of the role they play in the Inquiry and how this differs from being a witness.

The total number of CPs is 646.

Support arrangements after hearings

The NHS Grenfell Outreach Team is available Monday to Thursday from 08:00 to 20:00, and on Friday from 08:00 to 17:00. Their number is 0208 637 6279.
