(BBC) A fear of seeming rude can prevent criticism of emergency services’ performance, the Manchester Arena inquiry has heard.
The probe into the 2017 bombing has been listening to evidence from the Greater Manchester Resilience Forum.
It heard a terrorist firearms exercise held in the city in 2016 “raised significant issues” about police response.
But the GMRF chairman said he was not made aware of any problems at the time.
The GMRF is comprised of members from emergency services and local authorities to ensure “a co-ordinated response” when “there is an emergency such as a terrorist attack,” the inquiry was told.
