Substantive hearings at the Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse (IICSA) began last year after several false starts and resignation, so how is it doing now? Media reports have suggested it is scaling back its investigations or even becoming redundant. However, much of the reporting has been distorted or simply incorrect, writes Richard Scorer, partner at Slater & Gordon, in this week’s NLJ. He reviews the IICSA’s work to date and explains how it can perform a valuable function in separating fact from fiction, for example, on the Westminster allegations.
