To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if she will make a statement on progress made since the publication of the Casey Review into group-based child sexual exploitation

Urgent matter raised by an MP

A Conservative MP is calling on the Home Secretary to explain what progress the government has made implementing recommendations from the Casey Review, a major public inquiry into group-based child sexual exploitation (GBCSE) in England. The Casey Review, published in 2020, examined how police and local authorities failed to prevent large-scale abuse networks and made far-reaching recommendations for reform. This urgent question seeks a statement on whether those reforms have been acted on and what safeguards are now in place.

Child sexual exploitation by organised groups represents a serious failure of state protection. Implementation of Casey's findings affects police practice, local authority safeguarding, and the safety of vulnerable children across the country. The question signals potential concern from the opposition that the government is not moving fast enough on reforms needed to prevent future abuse networks.

Urgent questions draw responses from across the House — any MP may participate, so we don't show a predicted interest list.
