Project:
467
Description:
Protection from exploitation and serious abuse is uneven across local areas, creating a postcode lottery in the quality of identification, investigation and survivor support.
Desired Outcome:
Consistent minimum standards for safeguarding, investigation and victim support across all police force and local authority areas.
What Could Go Wrong:
Victims in weaker systems may be missed, cases may be mishandled, and perpetrators may exploit inconsistent local capability.
Current Situation:
Parliamentary statements on the post-Casey response described the need to end inconsistencies across forces and build a long-term specialist capability.
Action Strategy:
Set mandatory standards, audit local capability, publish comparative performance data, and escalate weak local arrangements for direct intervention.
