THE CHAIR of an inquiry into child sexual abuse has branded the government’s response to its landmark probe as “weak and apparently disingenuous.”
Professor Alexis Jay, of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, warned today victims and survivors’ hopes will be “dashed yet again and the scourge of child sexual abuse will continue to increase unabated” if Tory ministers fail to act.
Her comments in a letter to the Times newspaper came a week after Whitehall published its official response to the 20 recommendations called for by the investigation’s final report, which was published last October.
