Nottinghamshire will be one of a dozen counties included in the first round of the independent inquiry into child sex abuse, it has been announced.

The chair of the investigation, Hon. Lowell Goddard DNZM, unveiled the news this morning.

The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, (IICSA, also known as the Goddard Inquiry) has been set up to investigate whether public bodies and other non-state institutions have taken seriously their duty of care to protect children from sexual abuse in England and Wales.

Both Nottinghamshire’s Chief Constable, Chris Eyre, and Police and Crime Commissioner, Paddy Tipping, say they sincerely welcomed this announcement.
