ROCHDALE Council will be investigated as part of a major

independent inquiry into historic child sex abuse.

Justice Lowell Goddard, leading the investigation,

has confirmed the inquiry will look at ‘failings to pro-tect children in the care or supervision of Rochdale Council’.

The first phase of inves-tigations will also examine

Cambridge House Hostel, a privately-run care home for boys in Rochdale, and the former Knowl View special school.

The nationwide probe was set up last year follow-

ing claims of a high level cover up of abuse, and will be Britain’s largest-ever public inquiry, expected to take up to five years.
