David Enright, along with the other solicitors representing all of the survivor core participants in the Nottinghamshire councils investigation today expressed outrage at the failure of Nottingham city council to send any senior representative to hear the accounts of abuse of the victims and survivors.
Although senior representatives of Nottingham county council and Nottingham police attended to hear the harrowing accounts of the victims and survivors of child sexual abuse, Nottingham city council failed to send a representative.
David Enright (Head of Howe & Co’s Inquiry Team) said:
This is the largest public inquiry in British legal history. It has, for the first time come out of London, as a result of the constant campaigning of brave victims and survivors in Nottingham. Although on Monday Nottingham city Council apologised to victims and survivors; their representatives then left the Inquiry And did not wait to hear the astonishingly appalling accounts of abuse that many of the victims and survivors gave to the Chair of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse.
This is not good enough, the Council Leader should be here to listen and to lean; but most importantly, to pay respect to those the city failed and continue to fail
