The long-awaited independent inquiry into child sexual abuse opens on
Thursday in London amid renewed warnings to the cabinet secretary,
religious leaders and public bodies not to shred documents which might
be needed in evidence.
Justice Lowell Goddard, the New Zealand judge recruited as chair after two previous appointees resigned over their apparent links to the establishment, will open proceedings with an hour-long statement outlining the work ahead. She has written to Sir Jeremy Heywood, the head of the civil service and cabinet secretary, warning that there must be no “premature destruction of files or records that later become required as evidence”.
