The chair of the new child sex abuse inquiry has been named as New Zealand High Court judge Justice Lowell Goddard.

In her first interview since the announcement, Justice Goddard said she can bring an “independent and fresh approach” to the child sex abuse inquiry.

She will head up a new panel after Home Secretary Theresa May dissolved the existing inquiry, following a series of criticisms and the resignation of two previous chairs.
