Rejected petition Conduct a fully Independent National enquiry over child sexual abuse

The Government must conduct a fully independent National enquiry over child sexual abuse in the United Kingdom.

More details

Over the last ten years, maybe more, there have been numerous stories surrounding child sexual abuse in the UK. Child sexual abuse destroys lives and time and again the authorities have been proven to be found wanting.

The time has come for there to be a fully independent National enquiry into child sexual abuse to see what mistakes have been made and what measures can be put in place to dramatically lower the statistics of these awful crimes.
