Candour & Communities
"As part of its commitment to co-producing research and public legal education with individuals, groups, and organisations outside of the university sector, the CPJ has developed an in-person and digital exhibition which explores the devastating impacts of institutional lies and cover-ups, and which highlights the opportunity for change offered by the proposed new legal duty of candour.
Using a range of case studies, ‘Candour and Communities’ outlines how institutions which are intended to represent and support us have lied to the public and covered up those lies.
Across a 100-year timeline, it connects just some of the many disasters and scandals that have had devastating impacts across the UK. It is a story of how hard it is for ordinary people to get to the truth. But, in seeking to engage the public with the change offered by POAB, Candour and Communities also shines a light of hope."
