How to Submit Evidence

Prepare Quality Written Evidence

Follow the committee's guidelines. Keep submissions focused, factual, and relevant to the inquiry's terms of reference. Personal testimony combined with systemic analysis is powerful.

Request to Give Oral Evidence

If your written evidence is compelling, the committee may invite you to give oral evidence. Indicate your willingness to appear when submitting.
