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.
We call on UK Government to provide sex crime victims with free legal support
We call on the UK Government to set out in statue that sex crime victims are a vulnerable group from first police contact, and grant them a legal representative at the taxpayer expense.
Fund free civil legal support for survivors of sexual violence
Create a Government-funded scheme that provides free, specialist civil legal support for survivors of sexual violence. This should cover legal advice, representation, and essential case costs, ensuring survivors can pursue civil claims regardless of income or financial barriers.
Fund the relocation of sexual/domestic abuse victims after a conviction
We urge the Government to fund local councils to enable the immediate relocation of victims of sexual or domestic abuse and violence from where the incident occurred or away from where their abuser resides, if wanted, once a court conviction is secured.
Increase funding for Special Guardians and end the postcode lottery
We call on the Government to provide dedicated funding to councils so that financial support for Special Guardians is consistent across the UK and aligned with fostering allowances.
