Show Notes

A new independent inquiry into child grooming gangs in England and Wales has been launched, promising to hold police and institutions accountable for past failures. Led by Baroness Anne Longfield, the inquiry will run until March 2029 and examine how these gangs operated and why officials often dismissed or blamed the victims. The inquiry will also look into if ethnicity, culture, or religion played a role in the crimes or how officials responded. Survivors and campaigners have mixed feelings about the inquiry, with some calling for a nationwide scope and others questioning the timeline and budget. Lawyers are also split on the inquiry, with some welcoming the bold look at cultural factors and others worrying about Home Office influence. The inquiry is set to publish findings as they come, following evidence without flinching from tough truths.
