Question
Will the Welsh Government commission a Wales-wide inquiry into child sexual exploitation by grooming gangs in Wales?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Social Justice, Trefnydd and Chief Whip
The Welsh Government welcomes the UK Government’s announcement of a rapid audit of the current scale and nature of gang-based exploitation across the UK led by Baroness Louise Casey. We will be engaging fully with this review and are actively liaising with UK Government colleagues on this matter.
