Yvette Cooper

Labour — Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 6 January 2025

Debate

Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse

Contribution

My hon. Friend makes a really important point about the responsibility of local councils to recognise the things that have gone wrong in the past, to recognise the responsibilities that they owe to local victims and survivors, and to provide the support that those victims and survivors need. I know that my hon. Friend the Safeguarding Minister will keep in touch with her about progress, but it is really important that all councils make sure that they recognise their responsibilities.
