Historical child sex abuse inquiry opened by Justice Lowell Goddard

An independent inquiry into historical child sexual abuse in England and Wales has opened in London, one year after it was announced by the home secretary.

Theresa May ordered the inquiry in July 2014 following claims of a high-level cover-up of child sex abuse involving public figures, including politicians.

Survivors' groups said they were "hopeful", and that the terms of the inquiry were "what [they] had asked for."
