Lessons must be learnt from the Hillsborough disaster so families are supported
PUBLIC bodies must learn the lessons from Hillsborough to support bereaved families, the inquiry into the Manchester Arena bombing said today.
Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham commissioned a review into the tragedy, where 22 people were killed by a suicide bombing at the end of a concert by pop singer Ariana Grande, to assess how prepared the city was and the response of emergency services.
More than 170 people, including the bereaved and injured, and young people who were at the concert, participated in the review.
