Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse plans to (a) visit and (b) consider Telford as part of its current investigation into child sexual exploitation in England and Wales.

The Inquiry’s terms of reference require it to consider the extent to which institutions in England and Wales have failed in their duty of care to protect children from sexual abuse and exploitation. Within the terms of reference, it is for the Inquiry to decide what it investigates and how it conducts its investigations.

The Inquiry also runs the Truth Project, which allows victims and survivors of child sexual abuse to share their experiences.
