Key dates set for historical child abuse inquiry

The chair of an historical inquiry into child abuse in Scotland has announced two key dates.

Susan O’Brien, QC, said that for a person who suffered abuse to give their account to the inquiry of their experience of abuse, its impact and the effect on their family, the abuse must have taken place no later than December 17, 2014.

Since it was formally established in October, the inquiry has engaged with a range of organisations with an interest in the work of the inquiry to listen to their suggestions on waht should be examined.
