The BBC has seen email logs and intelligence reports that claim children as young as 11 were at risk of child sexual exploitation in High Street mini-marts. The council reports were repeatedly raised with West Midlands police over the past 10 years. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

National Child Exploitation Awareness Day switalskis.com/blog/national-…

I’ve represented Erin for eight years, she has grown so much during this time & is now an advocate for change. I could not be prouder. Thank you to Tom Brailsford & Rob Fordyce for truly hearing Erin, giving her this platform & making her feel valued. #CSE

Today I attended the @KirkleesCouncil Social Care Conf, alongside my lovely client Erin (pseudonym). Erin was invited to share her lived experience, read her poems & talk about how she thinks social work could improve. Erin has asked me to share her poems, so here they are.

PRESS RELEASE: HIGH COURT GRANTS HISTORIC PERMISSION FOR @TMOFCharity The Maggie Oliver Foundation TO CHALLENGE GOVERNMENT ON FAILURE TO ACT ON CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND EXPLOITATION This morning the High Court granted permission for charity, The Maggie Oliver Foundation, to challenge the Government on its failure to implement the recommendations of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA). The judgement is a moment of profound significance for survivors of child sexual abuse and for every child in this country whose safety depends on the Government honouring its commitments to reform. The Court found that following promises from consecutive governments, over the last almost four years, to learn lessons from IICSA to drive improvement in the policy and legislation protecting children, there is a legitimate expectation for them to deliver the inquiry’s twenty recommendations. The judge specifically highlighted the continued permission of use of pain inducing restraint techniques on children, a practice described as amounting to torture by IICSA, as an area where the Government has not justified its failure to act. The case will now proceed to a full substantive hearing. Maggie Oliver (former Detective and founder of the Maggie Oliver Foundation) will say: “Today is a historic day, not just for the Foundation, but for every survivor who has testified, waited and hoped. And it is for every child now and in the future, and for everyone who believes the state’s primary duty is to protect its citizens, especially the most vulnerable. When governments make promises to act and then walk away, children pay the price. Today the court has said, those promises matter.”

My first public interview in a decade thank you to @CDP1882 and @GBNEWS …. This is also the start of my last journey and that’s getting the truth out for my little sister Laura ❤️

Sixteen arrested in child sex abuse probe bbc.in/4tDtnKK

Please take the time to watch and share this podcast. In this episode, I speak more openly and honestly about grooming — how it started, how it slowly escalated, and how it took hold of my life. This isn’t my whole story, and it never could be in one conversation, but it is a deeply personal look at the abuse connected to the men who were sentenced in relation to my case. Court transcripts only ever show fragments. They don’t capture the fear, the manipulation, the confusion, or the impact it has on your life. In this podcast, I try to fill in some of those gaps and give a fuller, more human picture of what really happened. Sharing this isn’t easy, but it matters. If you can, please listen and help share it.

@AmyClowrey explains the upcoming grooming gangs Inquiry switalskis.com/blog

Today at the Rape Gang Inquiry hearings, solicitor David Greenwood spoke to us about a number of issues victims of child sexual exploitation in the UK are facing. He has represented hundreds of survivors. It is clear that our justice system is not fit for purpose. @rapeganginquiry

Father of a rape gang survivor, Marlon West, tells our inquiry about his experience. I urge you to watch @MarlonTag's powerful testimony.

Our inquiry and the brave survivors taking part are facing up to the hard questions that our rotten establishment has deliberately concealed for so many decades. Please listen to Fiona Goddard's (@fionagoddarduk) powerful testimony.

On my way to London to the @rapeganginquiry with @DGreenwoodLaw who is giving evidence at this afternoons session. Wondering why the inquiry has not yet been covered in the mainstream media…? #RapeGangs #ChildAbuse #GroomingGangs

.⁦@NCA_UK⁩ (independent from the police) have now taken over the investigation into abuse by #SYP officers. If you wish to speak in confidence to the NCA please reach out. #SYPabuse #Rotherham #AbuseScandal #CSE #GroomingGangs #RapeGangs bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
