Lord Mayor of London and CMS Cameron McKenna partner Fiona Woolf is set to lead a UK government inquiry into historical child abuse, after retired judge Baroness Butler-Sloss stepped down from the role.
The inquiry, which was set up in July, will consider how public bodies and leading institutions have dealt with child sex abuse. It aims to address public concern over “failings exposed by successive appalling cases of organised and persistent child sex abuse both historical and more recent”, according to the Home Office.
