Petition Action

Prosecute police officers, councillors & officials who helped cover-up grooming

Petition Details

Neglect & Misconduct in Public Office must become a statutory offence used to prosecute officials who ignored grooming evidence. The scale of abuse recently exposed only occurred because officials covered-up evidence as they prioritised considerations over multiculturalism, reputation & budgets.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We're not sure what you would like the UK Government or Parliament to do.

A decision to prosecute is not a matter for the UK Government or Parliament.

Parliament can change the law. If your petition clearly asked for a change in the law, we could be able to accept it.
