Prof Alexis Jay, chair of the national inquiry into child sexual abuse (IICSA), condemned the Conservative government's response led by then home secretary Suella Braverman. She stated that the response to the 20 recommendations was insubstantial and committed to nothing, leaving victims and survivors disappointed and angry. Jay initially felt encouraged by previous responses but was disheartened by Braverman's approach, which lacked specificity. This criticism comes amid current political discussions on further inquiries into grooming and rape gangs, emphasizing the urgency and seriousness of addressing child sexual exploitation.
