Seeking assessors for the Lampard Inquiry

The Lampard Inquiry, which is investigating mental health inpatient deaths in Essex, is inviting RCPsych members to apply to be independent assessors.

The role of an independent assessor is to provide advice and subject area knowledge to the Chair of an inquiry.

As part of the application process, applicants will be asked to set out their relevant experiences, as well as any conflicts of interest.

The hours assessors will be needed to support the Inquiry will vary. As an estimate, the Inquiry says assessors should be available for at least two days per month, which will increase for specific periods of the inquiry.

The roles are likely to be hybrid, and some meetings with the Chair will be in person at the Inquiry’s London office.

Applications will close at 11.59pm on 30 July.
