The former Archbishop of CanterÂbury Lord Carey has been granted core-participant status at the InÂÂdependent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) after Professor Alexis Jay, who chairs it, ruled that he “may be subject to explicit critÂÂÂÂicÂÂism by the Inquiry in due course”.
Core participants are entitled to legal representation at the Inquiry and to receive advance disclosure of evidence. They may also cross-examine witnesses when the public hearings begin, something that is expected to happen next year.
In his application for core partiÂcipant status, lawyers for Lord Carey explained that, as a retired office-holder, he was led to be believe that he would be represented at the InÂÂquiry by lawyers for the ArchÂbishops’ Council, which also has core-participant status. “Once the Archbishops’ Council indicated to Lord Carey that there might be some conflict between their interests and those of Lord Carey, he made contact with alternative legal represÂentatives,” Professor Jay said.
