On Monday 16 June 2025 the Home Secretary set out the Government’s response to Baroness Casey’s National Audit on Group-based Child Sexual Exploitation in England and Wales, accepting all 12 recommendations it made.

That includes making it a requirement for the police to collect ethnicity and nationality data in every case of child sexual exploitation and abuse. We will announce further details on this measure in due course.
