Discover why clubs and athletes of all levels and all sports want action to be taken. ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Hereford & Worcester's Felicity Kvesic hears how "there will be scandal after scandal unless the government acts now", from sports abuse lawyers and MPs. The Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse which began in 2015 it cost £186million with evidence from 7,000 victims, looking in to organisations such as the Catholic Church, and Jehovah's Witnesses to name a few - and was set up in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal by then ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Secretary Theresa May. The Inquirys findings were released in October, and are awaiting Government response. But the issue which has been bought up by many charities and abuse lawyers was the fact that sport was never included in the Inquiry.
