Everything Manchester Arena bombing inquiry chair said as damning report was published
The chairman of a damning report into failings around the Manchester Arena atrocity has praised the heroism of members of the public and individual officers but he insisted: “Many things did go badly wrong.”
He went on: “Volume 2 of my Report includes a summary of the tributes which we heard at the beginning of the Inquiry for each of those who died. The summary doesn’t do justice to that very moving evidence but I hope it does, to some extent, capture the individual qualities of each of them. “Those who have listened to the evidence will not be surprised that I am highly critical of many aspects of the rescue operation. Those criticisms must not overshadow our admiration for the courage of those who went into the City Room without any hesitation to help the dying and the injured.
“The criticisms that I have made are principally directed at organisations and there were significant failings by a number of organisations in preparation and training for an emergency such as this and in their actions on the night of the Attack. “The best example of this is the failure of JESIP, the Joint Emergency Services Interoperability Programme, on the night of the 22nd May. JESIP was introduced in response to the recommendations of Lady Hallett after the inquests she held into the deaths caused by the 7/7 bombings. It is not an overstatement to say that JESIP almost completely failed on the night of the Arena Attack.
“Those are only some of a large number of recommendations which I hope will be accepted but more importantly actioned by those who are in a position to make the necessary changes.
