Theresa May is expected to announce the new chair of the troubled child abuse inquiry following the resignations of two previous holders of the post.
The Home Secretary has also been considering the format of the inquiry, which could potentially involve scrapping the existing panel and replacing it with a more powerful body.
The new appointment follows the loss of two former chairwomen, who stood down over perceived conflicts of interest.
A Home Office spokesman said: “The Home Secretary has been having a series of meetings with survivors of child abuse right up to this point. She is going to make an announcement today.”
