UK historical child abuse inquiry WILL look at evidence from Jersey

The UK Home Secretary has today confirmed a forthcoming inquiry into historical child abuse in England and Wales WILL also look at evidence gathered by the Jersey inquiry.

Theresa May's announcement follows an ITV News report last week revealing NAPAC, a charity which represents abuse victims, wanted the move.

She said, though the Westminster inquiry has no jurisdiction over Jersey, it will look at the findings and recommendations from what happens in the island.

Ms May said the Jersey inquiry will not be ignored.
