Historical Institutional Abuse – A Consultation PaperThe Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry Report was published in January 2017, shortly before the collapse of the Northern Ireland Executive. Preparatory work around those recommendations in the HIA Inquiry Report which require a statutory foundation has been completed and a public consultation has now been launched on the following draft legislation:
- a Bill for a Commissioner for Survivors of Institutional Childhood Abuse (COSICA);
- a Bill for an HIA Redress Board; and
- subordinate legislation dealing with the detail of compensation proposals.
