IN JANUARY 2025, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper commissioned an audit led by Baroness Louise Casey to examine existing data and evidence to draw a comprehensive picture of the nature, scale and profile of group-based child sexual abuse offending identified by police and agencies and equip law enforcement with the information and understanding they need to combat these crimes.
