Scottish Government Launches Statutory Inquiry into Grooming Gang Child Sexual Abuse
The inquiry, chaired by Professor Alexis Jay, aims to uncover institutional failures and improve safeguarding after survivor campaigns pressured the Scottish Government.
- The Scottish Government has announced plans to establish a statutory inquiry into group-based child sexual abuse and a 'Truth Project' to allow victims and survivors to share their stories.
- The inquiry, to be chaired by Prof Alexis Jay who has 'unrivalled experience' in such inquiries, will focus specifically on group-based child abuse and exploitation, complementing the broader Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry established in 2015.
- While welcoming the inquiry, opposition parties criticized the Scottish National Party government for delays and accused a former minister of lying to Parliament to block efforts to secure such an inquiry.
