The Coroners’ Courts Support Service is a Registered Charity whose volunteers give emotional and practical support to families and other witnesses attending an Inquest at Croydon, Fulham, St Pancras, Southwark, Walthamstow or Westminster Courts. The Ministry of Justice, the Wates Foundation and other private donors are amongst those who have supported us and we work in close partnership with the Metropolitan Police. The Service is now open in Amersham & Milton Keynes in Buckinghamshire, Chelmsford in Essex, Hatfield in Hertfordshire and we hope the CCSS will cover the rest of the Home Counties in the near future if sufficient funding is forthcoming.
We hope this website will explain what happens if you are asked to attend an Inquest at a Coroner’s Court.
An independent organisation supported by the Ministry of Justice, Wates Foundation, the Drapers' Company, Charities and private donations working in partnership with the Metropolitan Police Service. The volunteer's training is funded by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
