The grooming inquiry is a check on power

The grooming gangs scandal is growing in intensity as many more people discuss its implications.

It’s not carried as just a news story but it’s transcended print concerns to include the emotions and empathy of many more people.

Jess Philips MP spoke about the inquiry and her involvement in the Commons today.

The reality is that it’s a gritty and legally technical issue. It’s not a straightforward case.

The sexual component of the abuse is particularly challenging to the Court system in the UK.

The call for reforms that many have made have come after roughshod approaches to dealing with people’s insecurities and the lack of safety felt in communities.
