Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 January 2025

Debate

Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse

Contribution

We are accelerating the work of the child sexual exploitation police task force, set up—rightly—under the previous Government. There was a 25% increase in arrests between July and September last year. That sits alongside the tackling organised exploitation programme, which uses advanced data and analytics to uncover complex networks. Data on ethnicity is now being published, but we will work further with them to improve the accuracy and robustness of the data and analysis.
