An investigation which will give a voice to victims of child sexual abuse is coming to Manchester.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse will investigate whether police, councils, and other non-state institutions shirked their duty to protect children from sexual abuse in England and Wales.
The wide-scale inquiry aims to identify institutional failings and make practical recommendations to protect youngsters from abuse.
The inquiry team will be in Manchester on Thursday, May 19.
It is led by judge Dame Lowell Goddard supported by an independent panel and child experts.
There have already been a number of high-profile investigations into abuse in Greater Manchester, including the grooming of children in Rochdale and specifically abuse at the town’s notorious Knowl View school.
