Police who failed to investigate child sex grooming gangs will be held to account, the new independent inquiry’s head pledged today – as she promised issues of ethnicity, culture and religion will also be scrutinised.
‘Any evidence’ of criminal conduct by professionals will be referred to a specially-launched national operation to review hundreds of previously-closed investigations.
In its ‘terms of reference’ published this morning, the inquiry said it would ‘investigate how grooming gangs operated and how institutions, including police, local authorities, health services, social care services, and schools, responded to abuse’.
They better hop to it or they’ll all die of old age.
