Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch described her meeting with survivors of grooming gangs as 'quite shocking', emphasizing the need for a national inquiry that addresses failures in safeguarding.
Badenoch noted that victims have gone to authorities multiple times, with one case involving police handing a 12-year-old back to her abusers, highlighting serious systemic issues.
In discussing the lack of a national inquiry, Badenoch admitted previous inquiries were thought to be sufficient, but recognized they were inadequate in addressing the problems.
Labour MP Sarah Champion called for a full investigation into grooming gangs, stating that only such action will restore trust in the safeguarding systems.
