Child Sexual Exploitation: Casey Report

Contribution

We must ensure that recommendations are implemented. One conclusion in the Baroness Casey audit states: “The timeline set out above—” that is the history of failed reports in the past— “shows a pattern of case after case of offending that is prosecuted, reviewed and then recommendations for improvement made and repeated, but not followed through. We become so used to hearing about these issues that they become more about justifications for failures rather than problems that need to be fixed.” We must ensure that these problems are fixed.
