What the petition asks
To ensure that the culture within the Crown and Public Service, including but not limited to the Police, Social Work, Teaching, plus amongst elected officials, is one of accountability.
We think the National Enquiry must have the following elements:
1. Be an overarching investigation into child grooming gangs, that will name individual Crown and Public Servants that failed to act.
2. Where the race, ethnicity or religion of the offenders/victims is a underlying issue, identify what prevented officials from acting to prevent harm.
3. Identify what characteristics the victims shared that made them unlistened to, unbelieved and undervalued.
