Home Office made 'no contact' with Hillsborough families about 'disrespectful' review

Hillsborough families have criticised the lack of contact from the Home Office a month on from an unannounced review into their relatives' deaths.

The review, investigating the failings of the original Hillsborough inquests to ensure similar mistakes aren't made in the future, began on July 1 following the conclusion of the criminal trials. But the families of the Hillsborough victims said they were not notified of the review until the day of the official announcement.
