As I have always expected, yesterday’s announcement by the government that the 5 local enquiries into grooming gangs are not happening came as no surprise. And I feel for the survivors/victims given false hope and fed lies. With this in mind, I wanted to share something which happened in January. In September I was invited to ‘support and contribute my views’ to the @HMICFRS commission into @gmpolice set up by Andy Burnham. This replaced the independent review team who sadly had no option other than to resign last summer after they were blocked from accessing information or interviewing victims so they could carry out an honest and thorough assurance review. Their purpose was to assess if @gmpolice have improved in how they deal with sexual abuse . There was one brief introductory zoom call in early October, and then to my horror I found out from the press in December that the first part of the report was to be made public the following day. I was totally unaware of this, as were others in that small group. There had not been a single meeting or conversation between them and me or others in the advisory group prior to that press conference, nor any conversations with victims. I was horrified and knew then it was a paper exercise with no real intention to seek views from those who may be independent, ‘critical friends’. I withdrew from this process immediately as there was clearly no intention to ‘seek our views’ at all, and having wasted so much time on other paper exercises in the past I wasn’t prepared to go down that pointless road yet again. I therefore resigned and I attach below my resignation letter from early January. I received no response until 7 weeks later when Andy Burnham and @greatermcr Greater Manchester Combined Authority finally acknowledged my resignation letter. I was then shocked to receive an invitation to the next ‘meeting’ with HMICFRS - scheduled for just a one hour zoom on 20th March, 6 MONTHS after the first one hour ‘introductory’ meeting!! It’s interesting to note that @HMICFRS weren’t even aware of my resignation almost 3 months later, showing there had still not been any meetings with the ‘advisory group’ nor collaborations or working parties. Victims too have been excluded. A repeat tbh of @IICSAVSCP National Abuse Inquiry. I look at the latest shambles regarding the disbanded local enquiries, and that @TECQC Tom Crowther KC had also seemingly been ‘blindsided’ and treated with contempt, and it is just more confirmation that my instincts are absolutely spot on. And why I honestly don’t believe a word these people say. To them it’s just a game, a process, a paper exercise, an attempt to cover up the truth, to protect the organisations. Paper exercises which are not intended to find the truth. They are intended to do exactly the opposite. I have learnt this after many years of trusting those who made false promises. I’ve heard so many, and often delivered convincingly with a smile and apparent sincerity. The problem for them though is that we, the public, now see this. And I honestly believe time is running out, and change is coming..
