Details

A judicial Parole Board member, on behalf of the Board’s Chair, has granted the application for Tracey Connelly’s parole hearing to be made public. More information about the reasons for this decision are attached.

The oral hearing in October 2025 was adjourned and has now been relisted for 20 & 21 May 2026. While this will be another public hearing, it is likely that a substantial amount of evidence will need to be taken in closed session, as a lot of the public evidence was already taken at the hearing in October 2025.

To register to attend this hearing, please email public.hearings@paroleboard.gov.uk for a registration form.
