 For days now pressure has been mounting on the Home Secretary and the announcement she is to make a common statement shows the seriousness of the issue confronting to resume. According the Home Office, her statement will address the two key public concerns. First, the homophilics response in the 1980s to papers containing allegations of child abuse. And second, the wider issue whether public bodies and other institutions have taken seriously their duty of care towards children. The Home Office has already admitted the file seen by the former Home Secretary back in the 1980s has gone missing. It is believed to have contained more than 100 files relating to historic organized child abuse. The Prime Minster asked their top civil servant Mark to look into what went wrong and he is due to face questions from a home affair select committee on Tuesday.
