15.What, and how much, knowledge does Justice Goddard have regarding safeguarding & child protection policies and procedures in the UK
16.Is Justice Goddard aware that it is not Mandatory Reporting by law (with criminal consequences) if an individual chooses not to report a safeguarding and/or child protection disclosure to the relevant authorities in the UK
17.There have to be regional meetings for as many Survivors to come forward nationally as possible and in small towns NOT just large cities and not just a few as we see now

21.Counselling etc must be open ended, no time limit & funds available
22.Nominations must be made from the public domain for the panel as for the Chair
23.Transparent up to date information must be regularly placed on the new CSA Inquiry website for survivors to feel informed and the NEW website must NOT resemble the Government in any way
24.Transparent information/updates need to regularly be put out in the media and social media/TV/News/Newspapers
25.Funding applications for all those who wish to apply must be made simple and paid quickly to help sustainability
Child abuse is, and has been, endemic in the UK and there have been serious cover-up’s which are still going on today in all areas of organisations and the establishment linked to children and adults being abused and reporting/disclosing on all levels and of all descriptions. This Inquiry has to bring an end to this and change systems and procedures in order to make our children safe.
We hope we did not miss too much, if anything, but if we did, hopefully others organisations and individuals covered it in their own questions during the meeting.
