Statement from Ampleforth
Interim report from the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.
The interim report from the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) was released on 25 April 2018 at noon. The full report can be found on the IICSA website.
Whilst there are no specific recommendations for Ampleforth at this stage, we are thoroughly reviewing the interim report. Where we find recommendations relevant to us, we will begin implementing them immediately. We await the full report into our participation in the Inquiry, which will be published later in 2018.
