Offences against Children: Inquiries
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when she expects the publication of the reports into the five local inquiries into child sexual exploitation, announced on 16 January 2025.
Answered by Jess Phillips
On 16 January 2025, the Home Secretary announced a funding package to deliver stronger national support for locally-led work on tackling group-based child sexual exploitation. This includes supporting Oldham Council who have confirmed that work to undertake a local inquiry has already begun. We are in the process of consulting with local authorities and relevant stakeholders on the design and delivery of this package and will update the House in due course.
