Bring criminal charges against officials who failed to act on the grooming gangs
We call on the Government to launch independent criminal investigations into police officers, government officials, and social workers who failed to act on grooming gang crimes despite having knowledge of the abuse.
Prosecute individuals where there is evidence of criminal negligence or misconduct.
Implement systemic safeguards to prevent such failures from happening again.
Justice demands that no one is above the law. Those who failed to protect vulnerable children must face legal consequences.
