Description

On 20 November 2025, the UK Covid-19 Inquiry will publish its second report. This module focuses on political and administrative decision making during the pandemic, examining how key decisions were made across government, and civil service performance. This report will also include perspectives from Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

In a rapid reaction webinar the following day, our expert IfG panel unpacked the report’s findings and explored their implications for future governance:

Tim Durrant, Programme Director for the IfG Ministers work programme
Stuart Hoddinott, Associate Director at the IfG
Akash Paun, Programme Director for the IfG Devolution work programme
Alex Thomas, Programme Director for the IfG Civil Service work programme
The webinar was chaired by Dr Hannah White, Director and CEO of the Institute for Government.
