Goddard inquiry truth project

The Goddard inquiry was set up in 2015 in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal to gather evidence on historical institutional child abuse in Britain. The inquiry is asking victims who were abused and reported the abuse to authorities but were either ignored or the report not acted on properly, to come forward. 600+ people have taken part and the inquiry panel is encouraging more victims and survivors to come forward as the first ones begin giving testimonies to a public inquiry into child sexual abuse. This is an unprecedented national ‘truth-telling’ project designed to catalogue decades of suffering. Pray for the 2,000+ people who have contacted the Goddard inquiry so far to finally receive appropriate care and healing. Pray for others not yet brave enough to speak out, may they bravely step out and be freed from flashbacks, fear and emotional pain.
