Announcing the move, the panel said it had appointed Dame Christine Lenehan, director of the Council for Disabled Children, part of the National Children’s Bureau, to lead the review on its behalf.
Lenehan, who will be assisted by NCB chief executive Anna Feuchtwang, will examine the experiences of children placed in Fullerton House, Wilsic Hall and Wheatley House.
