The Panel of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse published its Final Report on Thursday, wrapping up 7 years of investigations into the scourge in various sectors of British society.

In the Final Report, the IICSA lamented that child abuse is a national epidemic and estimated that 1 in 6 girls and 1 in 20 boys experience sexual abuse before the age of 16. "This is not just a historical aberration which happened decades ago, it is an ever-increasing problem and a national epidemic,” she said.Following its publication, the Catholic Council issued a statement welcoming the IICSA Final Report and highlighting its intention to study the report’s contents and recommendations.

The Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency started work in April 2021, and ensures that safeguarding standards are upheld in the Church in England and Wales.
