The troubled inquiry into child sex abuse was hit by a fresh crisis today after two more victim groups said they had lost confidence in its leadership.
They expressed concerns about Professor Alexis Jay, the fourth chair of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) and have demanded an emergency meeting with the inquiry’s panel to discuss their work.
The Minister and Clergy Sexual Abuse Survivors (MACSAS) group said it wanted to ‘to find out exactly where this is going, because none of us really know’ as it said questioned Professor Jay’s qualifications to lead the inquiry.
And the White Flowers Alba group, which also represents alleged victims of child abuse, warned that the crisis surrounding the inquiry was deterring key witnesses from speaking out.
