Thank you @SkyNews for featuring the important work done by @NAPAC. Whilst a lot of media coverage tends to focus on organised #CSE - grooming gangs - childhood abuse is a much wider public health emergency. All abuse is wrong. NAPAC aims to support all survivors 16+.

'It is shocking, but weirdly, I feel hope because the more numbers we see, the more we know people are speaking out and talking about the abuse' Chief Executive at NAPAC @KiwiGabrielle speaks to Sky News about the rise in child-on-child sexual abuse trib.al/MzyOLtP

With the Home Secretary agreeing to a national inquiry into grooming gangs, Leigh Day's head of abuse claims @AllymMillar outlines recommendations made in a recent review and urges that the inquiry listens to survivors and takes action towards change. leighdaylaw.info/4e9NKaU

A turnaround by the Gov. There will be a national inquiry into grooming gangs..... bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… I truly hope this ties in the with Independent Inquiry Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) recommendations and what needs to happen to protect all children from CSA/E. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

No matter how privileged and powerful you are, everyone can be affected by abuse: theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/m…

Abuse claims lawyers at Leigh Day have responded to calls for an inquiry into grooming gangs, saying another inquiry is not necessary now, and it is time for recommendations from the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse to be implemented leighdaylaw.info/4fPGujL

Voluntary registration on one of the @prof_standards registers is not enough to keep the public safe Compulsory registration is needed so that no one can practise as a therapist outside a regulatory framework of safe, ethical practice bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

As an abuse claims lawyer, I am very aware that the therapy process can have a very important role in recovery from trauma Ella's important campaign seeks to make sure that therapy is regulated, ethical and safe solicitorsjournal.com/sjarticle/surv…

Good article on Justin Welby’s tone deaf resignation speech. ⁦@churchofengland⁩ cannot be left in charge of its own safeguarding. Mandatory Reporting legislation bills.parliament.uk/bills/3743 must be passed theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Heartbreaking new footage of abuse at Whitefield School has surfaced. No child should ever endure such treatment. Since the allegations first came to light, I have pushed for a formal review of the circumstances to be carried out. Read my full statement childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/statement/stat…

NEW: The PM's office says the abuse of autistic children - revealed in CCTV I obtained - is "horrendous" and "must never happen again" The DfE has known about the abuse for 3 yrs - w/o enhanced regulation We found use of such rooms remains widespread bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

7. Law reform and statutory guidance is urgent so children in future are protected from ‘school prison cells’ and repeated physical restraints, and the trauma these can cause.

6. The @EHRC says that mandatory national minimum standards should be set for recording the use of restraint in schools, inform parents about all incidences of restraint and this data should be analysed with the aim of minimising future use.

1. The #Whitefield School case - in relation to which my firm acts for several children and their families - is another example of appalling mistreatment, which in our view both breaches the duties of care and violates ECHR human rights @NoelTitheradge @ChildrensComm
