‘In January 2025, the Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced a plan to fund work on five inquiries to explore allegations into failures by local services and police forces to adequately address child sexual exploitation and other sexual abuse. These were described as “victim-centred locally-led inquiries”, to be based on the work done by the Telford Inquiry chaired by Tom Crowther KC, and implemented at Oldham Council and four other pilot areas. in mid-March 2025, the Government advised that an update would be coming soon and likely pre-Easter.’
