Let's Be Heard

Sharing Scotland's COVID Experience

Let's Be Heard is the Scottish COVID-19 Inquiry’s public participation project. It aims to give a voice to everyone who was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in Scotland between 2020 and 2022. 

On 29 November 2024, Let’s Be Heard finished gathering people’s experiences of the pandemic. The team is now analysing the information people have shared to inform the Inquiry’s investigations. It will also look to build on its initial findings, published in November 2023. 

The Inquiry is grateful to the almost 12,000 people across Scotland who have taken the time to share their experiences with Let's Be Heard.

Gathering these experiences has been crucial in supporting the Inquiry’s work, and informing its investigations and the recommendations it will make to Scottish Ministers.
