In Your Own Words
In Your Own Words is a new listening project to hear from more people impacted by the Post Office Horizon scandal. This is for any affected by the scandal to share their stories and how their experiences have impacted them. Experiences shared will inform a Legacy Project that the Inquiry is working with sub-postmasters to develop.
Share your story
In Your Own Words is open to all who may have been impacted, including current or former sub-postmasters, family members, friends, community members, or other members of the public who may have reflections to share. Current or previous employees of organisations linked to the scandal, such as the Post Office, Government or Fujitsu, who may have been impacted in different ways, are also invited to share their experiences.
Family and relationships paper
The Inquiry has published its first record of what it has heard through In Your Own Words.
This paper focuses on how people’s relationships and family life were impacted by the Horizon scandal.
Support
The wellbeing of people participating in the Inquiry is extremely important to the Inquiry.
Advice on coping with traumatic events, or information on how to access emotional and psychological support is available on our website.
