An inquiry into institutional child sex abuse is to launch in Liverpool.
The first stage of the independent inquiry, the Truth Project, will pilot in the city next week with the view to expanding across the country.
The project allows victims and survivors to share their experience with the Inquiry during private sessions or via written statements.
Information received will be turned into anonymous summaries to inform the inquiries reports and recommendations.
Some of the institutions involved are the armed forces, local authorities, the media, schools, the NHS , religion organisations and voluntary and private organisations.
The inquiry aims to identify organisations and institutions that have failed in their duty to protect children from sexual abuse.
