The Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry was set up in October 2015 to “shine a light in the dark corners of the past”. It has the power to compel people and organisations to give evidence, and so far it has cost £27 million. It had been expected to report back within four years but in 2018 the timeline was extended because so many witnesses came forward. The inquiry will now publish its final findings “as soon as reasonably practicable”.
