“We [the Committee] also heard that the Met’s response to these grooming gangs has “just not been good enough”.
“Concerns were highlighted about victim-blaming language, inadequate support for victim-survivors, the criminalisation of exploited children, and the relatively low number of grooming gang convictions secured by the Met.
“Together, these factors have contributed to a lack of trust among victim-survivors. Understandably, this stops victim-survivors coming forward, creating a cycle in which offences remain hidden, evidence is harder to obtain, and perpetrators evade justice.”](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HLFU8rLWsAAuQCF.jpg)
