The Macur review

"THE REPORT of the Macur Review — an examination of the work of the 1996-99 North Wales Child Abuse Tribunal — is a whitewash."

 

 

"Lady Justice Macur’s report was finally published on March 17 this year — nearly three and a half years after it was commissioned."

"She concludes:"

" `I have found no reason to undermine the conclusions of the Tribunal in respect of the nature and scale of the abuse.` "

"She brushes aside evidence submitted by Rebecca — one of the Tribunal’s major critics."

"She also rules out the existence of a national paedophile ring:
`Neither is there evidence of the involvement of nationally prominent individuals in the abuse of children in care in North Wales, between 1974 and 1996`."

"`Consequently, I do not recommend the establishment of a further public or private inquiry`."

"But Lady Justice Macur is also highly critical of the Tribunal.
Her team has done enough digging to find shocking shortcomings in its work."

"She could have condemned it as unfit for purpose."
