Hillsborough Independent Panel

The Hillsborough Independent Panel was established to review and release information about the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, where 96 football fans tragically died due to overcrowded stands and inadequate safety measures. The panel's goal was to uncover the truth, address misinformation, and provide transparency. Its findings revealed misconduct, cover-ups, and errors by authorities, which contributed to the tragedy and subsequent injustices. The panel's work helped restore trust, ensure accountability, and promote safety reforms in sport and public events.
