One of 12 investigations in the first phase of the national independent inquiry into child sex abuse will centre on Nottinghamshire.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, also known as the Goddard Inquiry, has been set up to investigate whether public bodies and other non-state institutions have taken seriously their duty of care to protect children from sexual abuse in England and Wales.
Both Nottinghamshire’s Chief Constable, Chris Eyre, and Police and Crime Commissioner, Paddy Tipping, welcomed today’s announcement by the inquiry chairman Justice Lowell Goddard.
They say they have held discussions with the inquiry team over the last eight months to encourage this focus on Nottinghamshire and the ongoing work with survivors of historical sexual abuse.
