Let’s Be Heard was launched in May 2023 and is the main channel for people who were impacted by the pandemic in Scotland between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2022 to engage with the independent Inquiry.

The listening project asks members of the public to share their experiences of the pandemic and any lessons they believe should be learned so we are better prepared in future. The project is seeking the answers to three questions:

What were your experiences of the Covid-19 pandemic in Scotland?

What impact did these experiences have on you or people you know?

What lessons do you think should be learned from your experiences?

Experiences shared with Let’s Be Heard will help guide the Inquiry’s investigations and inform its reports. This will include identifying any disproportionate or unequal impacts on particular groups or communities.

The Let’s Be Heard team is also looking to speak to local community groups and organisations based in Falkirk and surrounding areas to find out how they can get involved with the project. More details by emailing [email protected].
