www.the-independent.comDirect answer: Here’s the latest I can provide with public, reported updates.
- The Nottingham Inquiry into the 2023 attacks has featured ongoing hearings in early 2026, with attention to police and care services’ responses and the circumstances around the attacker’s detention and care. Several outlets reported the inquiry’s public proceedings began or continued in 2026, including coverage of police response and care-system considerations.[2][7]
- In early 2025, officials announced a judge-led public inquiry would be established into the Nottingham attacks, with families told it would scrutinize multiple agencies and findings expected within a two-year timeline. This set the framework for the 2025–2027 inquiry window.[1]
- Coverage from major outlets in 2025–2026 highlighted key themes, such as the inquiry’s focus on accountability, the handling of Valdo Calocane’s case, and the adequacy of care and detention decisions preceding the attacks. These themes have continued to appear in 2026 briefing materials and televised updates.[3][7][1]
What this means for you:
- If you’re tracking timelines, expect ongoing sessions and occasional summaries as the inquiry reveals findings about agency responses and potential reforms.[1][2]
- For detailed, dated transcripts and specific witness testimony, consult the official Nottingham Inquiry updates page and major broadcasters’ Nottingham inquiry coverage.[6][7]
