Welcome to the H.J. Talks About Abuse podcast, presented by the Hugh James abuse team. In this episode, led by Alan Collins, the head of the abuse team, we delve into the pressing issue of grooming gangs. Despite criticisms of the term, the episode confronts the harsh realities of young girls being targeted by predators and the criminal activities often accompanying these abuses. Alan highlights the often-overlooked correlation between grooming and broader criminal networks, such as county lines.

The discussion pushes for a national inquiry into grooming gangs, questioning the sufficiency of local inquiries and drawing from past investigations like the Rotherham and ICSA reports. The episode calls for a deeper understanding of the systemic issues that allow such crimes to persist, despite existing safeguarding recommendations and government intentions.

Through legal expertise and personal insights, this podcast aims to empower survivors and provoke thought on how society can better address and prevent these tragic crimes. Tune in to explore the necessity of comprehensive national action against grooming gangs and the importance of keeping accurate data to confront these challenges effectively.
