This episode explores the groundbreaking Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA), a landmark investigation that ran from 2015 to 2022. We discuss the inquiry's deep dive into institutional failings and its crucial recommendations for preventing child sexual abuse. Shockingly, the government has yet to implement any of these vital recommendations. We also examine the wider societal impact of sexual violence and stress the urgent need for action on the IICSA's findings to better protect children.
