Further information about a breach of confidentiality relating to the publication of the Interim Report in April 2018 was recently brought to the Inquiry’s attention.

The Inquiry previously confirmed that it was not looking at allegations made by Carl Beech, known as ‘Nick’, that led to Operation Midland. In light of the sentencing of Mr Beech today for perverting the course of justice and fraud in relation to his claims of child sexual abuse, the Inquiry makes the following further statement.
Mr Beech has neither applied for nor been designated as a core participant in any of the Inquiry’s investigations. The Inquiry has taken no witness evidence from him.
The Inquiry has today (June 20) published its report on child sexual abuse within the Archdiocese of Birmingham, part of the Roman Catholic Church investigation.
The government has abolished the ‘same roof’ compensation rule, as recommended by the Inquiry in its Interim Report in April 2018.
The long-standing rule prevented victims and survivors of child sexual abuse from receiving compensation if the perpetrator was a family member who they were living with at the time of the incident.
Now victims and survivors of non-recent child sexual abuse who were previously denied compensation under the rule, or who were put off applying, will be able to reapply.
