THE new head of the nationwide child sex abuse inquiry has said the probe will not be scaled back.
Professor Alexis Jay, 67, admitted it was a “substantial challenge” but added she would not seek to revise nor reduce the terms of reference.
Last month, Dame Lowell Goddard, also 67, became the third chairwoman to quit the inquiry, which has been plagued with problems since it launched in 2014.
The former chairwoman told a judge this week that there should be a “complete review” into the probe, adding there was a problem with its scale and size.
One survivors’ group has said it may pull out of the inquiry because it does not believe it is “truly independent”, citing concerns about the involvement of the Home Office.
