Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse

The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) is a comprehensive investigation established by the UK government to examine how institutions, like schools, churches, and social services, have managed and responded to allegations of child sexual abuse. Its goal is to uncover truth, identify failings, and recommend measures to prevent abuse and improve safeguarding. The inquiry operates independently, ensuring impartiality and that survivors’ voices are heard, ultimately aiming to promote justice, accountability, and safer environments for children.
