The Chair of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse has
today announced the first phase of investigations into the extent to
which institutions have failed to protect children from sexual abuse.
Hon. Lowell Goddard DNZM announced the Inquiry’s first 12 investigations
which will begin immediately and provided a statement on the work of
the Inquiry to date.
In her statement the Chair said:
“I am pleased to launch the Public Hearings Project by announcing the start of the Inquiry’s investigative work. Twelve investigations are proposed for this first phase. They will all begin with immediate effect and most, if not all, will culminate in public hearings. They represent the first phase of the inquiry’s investigations and are by no means the total of the work we intend to conduct; further investigations will be announced as the Inquiry progresses.
