Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse - Interim Report
from the United Kingdom
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse was established on 12 March 2015 ‘to consider the extent to which State and non-State institutions have failed in their duty of care to protect children from sexual abuse and exploitation; to consider the extent to which those failings have since been addressed; to identify further action needed to address any failings identified; to consider the steps which it is necessary for State and non-State institutions to take in order to protect children from such abuse in future; and to publish a report with recommendations.' |
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse has published its Interim Report, on 25 April
The Inquiry was required under its Terms of Reference to publish an Interim Report in 2018. This report fulfils that responsibility and provides an overview of the work undertaken by the Inquiry so far.
The Interim Report sets out what the Chair and Panel consider to be the key emerging themes from the Inquiry's work to date and includes recommendations for specific changes which will better protect children from sexual abuse.
The Chair of the Inquiry is Professor Alexis Jay, OBE and there are three Panel members: Professor Sir Malcolm Evans, KCMG, OBE, Ivor Frank and Drusilla Sharpling, CBE.
The Inquiry's Terms of Reference require it to publish an interim report by the end of 2018. This is a summary of that report.

Dear Colleague:
I am pleased to inform you that the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse has today published its Interim Report.
The Interim Report provides an overview of the work undertaken by the Inquiry to date and progress so far, and includes what the Inquiry Panel and I consider to be the key emerging themes. The report bring together themes emerging from the five public hearings we have held over the past 18 months and our analysis of existing research and seminar discussions. Over 1,000 victims and survivors have now participated in the Truth Project.
The Interim Report provides a clear account of the Inquiry's work so far and the themes already emerging. It includes recommendations for specific changes which will help to better protect children from sexual abuse.
