Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what discussions her Department has had with (a) the Scottish Government (b) Police Scotland on the findings of the Casey Review.

Whilst child protection is fully devolved in the UK and policing devolved except for Wales, all parts of the UK must work together to protect children and bring perpetrators to justice. We regularly engage with devolved administrations on a full range of issues, including on the matters covered in Baroness Casey’s National Audit on Group-based Child Sexual Exploitation in England and Wales and the recommendations it made.

We expect any relevant activity and findings from the National Inquiry and Police Investigation to be shared with devolved administrations and agencies, including the Scottish Government and Police Scotland, to support a comprehensive approach across the UK.
