One year after Baroness Casey's landmark national audit into grooming gangs, MPs gathered in the House of Commons to scrutinise the government's response to one of Britain's most serious safeguarding scandals. Home Office Minister Sarah Jones outlined measures including Operation Beacon, a new statutory inquiry led by Anne Longfield, changes to rape laws, and plans for mandatory ethnicity reporting. MPs from across the political spectrum pressed the government on institutional failures, victim support, accountability and concerns over the pace of reform. The debate focused on how authorities failed vulnerable children, what has changed since the Casey report, and whether the new inquiry can finally deliver justice for survivors.
