- 

Badenoch will seek to press the Government to speed up its efforts to establish a national grooming gangs inquiry today.The Conservative leader is expected to unveil draft terms of reference for the inquiry, drawn up with the help of some victims and survivors of abuse.

Those terms include an explicit focus on non-familiar abuse and consideration of both the “particular religious, ethnic, or national characteristics” of perpetrators, and whether these contributed to public bodies failing to act on concerns about grooming.
