A Deep Dive into the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse
Manage episode 447447674 series 3359337
In this week's podcast, Alan Collins, head of the abuse team at Hugh James, explores an insightful article from the Law Society Gazette on the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse. Published in the Gazette, a key trade publication for the legal profession, the article sheds light on the inquiry's origins, challenges, and its significant findings.
Alan discusses the history of the inquiry, initiated by Theresa May a decade ago, and its journey through several leadership changes before reaching its conclusions. The inquiry examined various societal sectors, including religious institutions and children's homes, leading to grave conclusions about the state of child sexual abuse in the UK.
The podcast delves into the inquiry's recommendations, such as mandatory reporting and redress schemes for survivors, and the lack of implementation by the current government. Alan also highlights the importance of reforming the Limitation Act 1980, which currently restricts the time frame for survivors to seek compensation.
Join Alan as he provides a comprehensive overview of these pressing issues, the challenges faced by survivors, and the need for political action to effect meaningful change.
