Abuse inquiry chief on brink as lawyers who quit
reveal all: Barristers set to lift the lid on toxic atmosphere including
claims of bullying and harassment by top QC which were allegedly
ignored by the chair.
The
chairman of the troubled public inquiry into child abuse will come under
increasing pressure this week as a string of lawyers finally reveal why

left the £100 million investigation that she knew there was a culture of
bullying, harassment and even sexual assault but failed to act – then
tried to cover it up.
