<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>
