The report of the Independent Investigation into Child Sexual Abuse was published on February 2022, after sitting since 2015. Their conclusions are a damning indictment of the lack of care given to children and young people who are sexually exploited. They remark upon “extensive failures by local authorities and police forces to keep pace with the pernicious and changing problem of the sexual exploitation of children by networks”.http://www.iicsa.org.uk/document/child-sexual-exploitation-organised-networks-investigation-report-february-2022
