Tories ‘sat on their hands’ after inquiry into child sexual abuse, minister says

On Wednesday, Dame Nia told the Commons: “The last government sat on their hands and failed to deliver on the recommendations of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA), whereas this Government has already announced a comprehensive set of plans to implement all of the recommendations to prevent the horror of child sexual abuse, including the introduction of mandatory reporting, the creation of a new child protection authority, and the removal of the three-year statute of limitations period for personal injury claims brought by victims of child sexual abuse.
