Home Secretary Amber Rudd has assured abuse survivors that the inquiry into how UK institutions handle their duty of care will not be delayed by the recent resignation of the committee’s chairwoman.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) was set up in July 2014 by British Prime Minister Theresa May when she was Home Secretary. The IICSA is looking into 13 claims of historical child abuse involving institutional cover-ups. Amongst the cases are claims against both the Anglican and Catholic Church.
