Grooming Inquiry Begins in Bradford
Description
A £65 million national inquiry into child grooming gangs is launching in four high-risk areas—London, Oldham, Bradford, and Keighley—with former children’s commissioner Baroness Anne Longfield leading the charge. She has the power to compel testimony and document releases, with findings potentially handed to police’s Operation Beaconport. Bradford, eager to be first, cites survivor pleas and systemic failures in public services. One survivor, Fiona Goddard, recounts brutal abuse and the struggle to get help, urging others to speak out. The probe aims to expose institutional failures and prevent future tragedies.
