<p>On 7 July the Home Secretary announced an independent inquiry into child sexual
abuse. The inquiry will consider whether public bodies - and other non-state institutions-have
taken seriously their duty of care to protect children from sexual abuse. The Inquiry
will co-operate fully with Devolved Administrations. However all relevant issues in
Scotland and Northern Ireland are now devolved and will be a matter for those administrations
to consider. In Wales the inquiry will cover those institutions which concern non-devolved
matters. The Home Secretary has made clear that the Home Office will talk to the Devolved
Administrations and work with them on this Inquiry.</p><p> </p>
