Jon Brown refers to 'historic abuse' ....Where is he? The Government has dropped this offensive term for the CSA inquiry, the DPP does not use it and neither doesThames Valley Police.

The fact that many individual cases are finally being seen and heard for the first time stems from a changing climate that more easily permits people who were abused in childhood to speak. A tipping point was reached somewhere in the CSA timeline that awakened abus...

Meirion Jones, formerly Panorama, interviewed by @radionz 23/3/15 about the cost of whistleblowing @BBC
The concealment of abuse by the administration of an institution (i) hangs a 'paedophiles welcome' sign on its gates and (ii) provides a weapon for paedophiles remaining within the institution, to hold to the head of the management should they ever be discovered. Suspected child abuse prompts 'gaze aversion' which sits comfortably with institutional objectives.
