UK child abuse inquiry: Child sex abuse victim report published

A report looking at the impact of child sexual abuse on victims, their families and wider society has been published today.

The report is by researchers from the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA), which was set-up by the then Home Secretary Theresa May in 2014.

The inquiry is investigating whether public bodies and other non-state institutions have taken seriously their responsibility to protect children from sexual abuse in England and Wales, as well as make recommendations for change.

The report is part of the inquiry’s work into examining the impact of child sexual abuse on the lives of victims and survivors and their families, as well as wider society.

Entitled ‘The impacts of Child Sex Abuse: A rapid Evidence Assessment’, the report has been published at the same time as an inquiry seminar on victims and survivors’ experiences, which is taking place on 4-5 July in London.
