Meeting about child abuse inquiry at House of Commons

"They came to discuss the faltering Home Office inquiry into historic institutional child abuse and it was a unique and highly charged gathering."

"Survivors of organised child abuse joined campaigners, whistleblowers and MPs in the largest public meeting room available in the House of Commons..."

"Child Welfare expert Phil Frampton, who chaired the meeting, set the tone by saying the Home Office inquiry was "still a mess".

He said: "We want to rescue the inquiry and make it meaningful. But It has to be transparent. It has to have a ruthless determination for the truth and it has to safeguard and protect."...

"Survivor Ian McFadyen perhaps best summed up the mood."

"I'm looking at a room full of people who have been failed," he said. "It's not about us, though. The damage is done."

"But we can hold those people to account who failed us, find out how they were allowed to fail us and make sure it doesn't happen in the future to our children."
