Statutory Inquiry Launched into Grooming Gang AbuseThe inquiry will cover England and Wales and has powers to compel witnesses, following a months-long audit.
- Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced a full national inquiry into group-based child sexual abuse known as grooming gangs.
- The inquiry follows recommendations from Baroness Louise Casey’s audit, which examined evidence on the abuse’s nature and scale.
- It will be statutory under the Inquiries Act, enabling it to compel witness testimony and coordinate local investigations.
- Home Secretary Yvette Cooper is scheduled to make a Commons statement on Monday alongside the publication of Casey’s report.
A full statutory enquiry, done correctly, will expose the multiple failings of the British establishment. I repeat the words 'done correctly' - this cannot be a whitewash.— Nigel Farage, leader of Reform UK, reacting to the announcement of a national inquiry into grooming gangs.
