We believe the National Rape Gang Inquiry, announced June 2025, lacks public updates on progress, scope, or timeline. We urge the Government to deliver regular statements on its status, form, any delays, and next steps, ensuring accountability and informing the public.

New independent, judge-led national Inquiry into the scandal of the Rape Gangs
We think the current grooming gangs inquiry has failed. Several survivors have resigned from its panel and there have been calls for the resignation of the Safeguarding Minister. Two prospective Chairs have walked away from the process. The new public inquiry must be fully independent.
Work with devolved governments to extend the grooming gangs inquiry
Work with devolved governments to extend the national inquiry into group based child sexual exploitation to Scotland and Northern Ireland. We think this is a form of group based child sexual abuse which has been significantly neglected, and which is at risk of becoming worse.
Fund extensive support for victims of grooming gangs
Fund: At least 12 months of fully-funded specialist trauma therapy Access to funded therapeutic retreats Ring-fenced personal funding (housing, debt, education, etc.) Oversight by an independent Survivors’ Panel with real power Automatic, non-means-tested support via a dedicated national fund
Inquiry into sexual violence in NHS hospitals
I want the Government to have an inquiry into sexual violence being reported in NHS hospitals, to come up with a plan to reduce incidents.
Review court system to address trial delays for rape and sexual abuse
We want the Government to review the court system in order to better prioritise and protect victims of rape and sexual abuse by preventing postponements of trial start dates. Victims can be left in limbo for months or years, which can cause further trauma and deny timely justice.
