LONDON, Oldham, Bradford and Keighley are to be the first towns and cities investigated by the grooming gangs inquiry.
-
The scandal-hit probe is investigating how grooming gangs operated in England and Wales and the actions of police, councils, health and social care services and schools.
The announcement yesterday confirmed the capital and parts of West Yorkshire will join Oldham, in Greater Manchester, in being the first areas to face so-called local investigations - where serious failures have been identified in the response to child sexual exploitation by grooming gangs.
The inquiry will look ‘‘in detail at what happened in a specific place - including how children were identified and protected, how organisations responded, how victims were treated and what needs to change’’.
