An investigation which will give a voice to victims of institutional child sex abuse is coming to the North East.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) aims to identify organisations and institutions that have failed in their duty to protect children from sexual abuse.
The first stage of the wide-scale inquiry, known as the Truth Project, launches in the North East on Wednesday.
Dame Lowell Goddard, who is leading the inquiry, is visiting York to mark the start of the Truth Project in the region and the opening of the Inquiry’s office in the North East.
The project allows victims and survivors to share their experience with the Inquiry during private sessions or via written statements.
