I would like to update the House on the progress being made to deliver Baroness Casey’s recommendations following her national audit on group-based child sexual exploitation and abuse. Girls as young as 10 were exploited, abused and brutally raped by gangs of men, causing unimaginable harm to victims and survivors throughout their lives. This Government will accept all 12 of Baroness Casey’s recommendations, including the establishment of a new statutory national inquiry into group-based child sexual exploitation and a new national policing operation. Operation Beaconport has been established under the direction of the National Crime Agency to ensure a swift and specialist law enforcement response to grooming gang offending. The Government is injecting £426,000 funding to extend access to cutting-edge investigative apps and digital tools for all police forces in England and Wales. The Home Secretary committed to making it mandatory to collect ethnicity and nationality data of suspects who commit child sexual exploitation and abuse offences. A new statutory national inquiry will examine how effectively local and national safeguarding systems protected children from group-based sexual exploitation and abuse, holding institutions accountable for past failures. Defends the government's actions, highlighting commitment to victim-centred processes. Emphasises that the national inquiry will cover all relevant issues and individuals involved. Commits to working closely with victims, ensuring the national inquiry addresses historical cases through Operation Beaconport, disregarding child prostitution convictions, updating taxi licensing laws, and publishing a detailed violence against women and girls strategy soon. Confirmed the establishment of a child protection agency that will evolve as learnings from the inquiry come out. Acknowledges the importance of engaging with local and national bodies in setting up the authority. Emphasised the need to ensure victims' voices are heard, particularly those marginalised by familial abuse or peer groups. Pledged to work closely with devolved Administrations on cross-border inquiries and to investigate police cover-ups as well as crimes themselves. Highlighted the importance of engaging all victims comfortably while acknowledging it is not an easy process. The Government will ensure robust protections for whistleblowers, as they have worked closely on this issue for years. The Minister welcomes consultation and engagement on the inquiry's terms of reference.
