New Local Enquiries on child exploitation and abuse.

Another cover-up because these inquiries have no authority to compel witnesses to attend. instead they will rely on a 'candour of truth'??
'.
One area named: Oldham; four more yet to be chosen, out of the 50 waiting to be investigated. Action only taken because Maggie Oliver threatened to seek a judicial review in the High Court unless Cooper published a timetable for implementing all 20 recommendations in the Jay report into Child Sex Abuse.

The action wasn't taken because Maggie Oliver sought the review.
The new inquiry measures were well in the planning by the time the letter arrived, and Olivers letter referred to the 20 recommendations, not the inquiry measures.

Doodledog re Conservatives: in 2022 when the Jay report came out what they did do was set up a limited number of specialist police units as per one of the 20 recommendations and they have made many arrests.

But as you say, at no time did they consider further inquiry/inquiries were needed.

Two separate news stations and one national newspaper reported Maggie Oliver's threatened action this morning. As for Cooper's inquiry measure 'being well into the planning' it was only last week she was putting on a show of being Very Angry Indeed , threatening to put people working with children in prison if they didn't report child abuse. The system for doing this has been in operation for many years and is used correctly; it is the failure of the police and social services to implement this which needs serious retrospective investigation.
Abuse is suspected, evidence amassed and reported, goes beyond the school; nothing happens then suddenly the children stop attending school and are being home-schooled, on an extended visit abroad or have moved to another county or country leaving no address.

As far as I understand it, the requested new inquiries are specifically because of accusations of failure to investigate, or move forward, because of the racial background of some of the gangs.

The failings you allude to generally, were very well investigated in the Jay report, in great detail, after 100's of interviews, that reported in 2022

resulting in the 20 recommendations that Maggie Oliver is demanding an action plan on. (and quite rightly too, although the question of adequate resourcing will always be a problem)
