Offences against Children: Reviews
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when she expects the National Audit on Group-Based Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse to be published.
Answered by Jess Phillips
Baroness Louise Casey is currently completing her audit into the nature, scale and characteristics of grooming gangs offending.
I updated the House on 2 June that Baroness Casey has requested a short extension to her work from the Home Secretary to allow her to speak directly to victims, fully access the scale of the issue, and submit meaningful evidence-based recommendations to further tackle this abhorrent criminality.
We expect to receive the report very shortly. We will then set out a comprehensive response, as well as next steps on the action we have already announced.
