Home Affairs Committee: The Independent Inquiry into Grooming Gangs

Committee hears from witnesses

The Home Affairs Committee will take oral evidence on the Independent Inquiry into Grooming Gangs, examining the findings and recommendations of this major public inquiry into organised child sexual exploitation. The session will scrutinise how gangs operated across multiple locations, how institutions and authorities failed to protect children, and what changes are needed to prevent future abuse.

This inquiry addresses one of the most serious failures in child protection in recent British history. The evidence will inform how Parliament holds government and agencies accountable for safeguarding, shape reforms to policing and social services, and help ensure grooming gangs are prevented, detected, and prosecuted more effectively. The findings will affect every police force, local authority, and child protection service in the country.
