Cultural revolution required to stop 'burning injustice' of Hillsborough being repeated, says ex-bishop

ONLY a change in the culture of public bodies will put an end the “burning injustice” of the treatment of families bereaved by a tragedy, a report on the experiences of the Hillsborough families has found.

The review, by former Liverpool bishop James Jones, demands changes across the inquest system to ensure that the suffering faced by the Hillsborough families during their 27-year ordeal is not repeated in the case of another tragedy.

It comes after inquests into the 1989 disaster — in which 96 Liverpool fans were crushed to death at the FA Cup semi-final — returned verdicts of unlawful killings.
