Many victims of grooming gangs, like Fiona Goddard who says she was raped by over 50 men in Bradford, are hopeful for a national inquiry after facing disappointment with local investigations. Despite the council’s insistence that they had already conducted an independent case review, victims like Fiona believe more needs to be done. The findings from the 2021 review highlighted significant failings in addressing child sexual exploitation, with agencies failing to protect vulnerable individuals like Fiona. The lack of accountability and failure to investigate further when Fiona became pregnant at 15 are clear indications that more needs to be done to address these issues. A national inquiry would provide a platform for these victims to seek justice and ensure that these failings are not repeated in the future. Many victims are likely to welcome a national inquiry into grooming gangs, as accountability has been lacking in previous investigations. Fiona Goddard, a survivor of grooming and abuse, expressed dissatisfaction with the independent review conducted in her case, which failed to address the full extent of the abuse she experienced. Additionally, the connections between perpetrators in different cities suggest a need for a broader investigation to uncover the networks involved in trafficking women. Local inquiries may not have the capacity to fully explore these networks. Fiona believes that there are links back to Bradford, but victims from various cities often perceive their abusers as being at the center of the issue. A case in Humberside was reopened after a Sky News investigation in 2022, highlighting the ongoing prevalence of grooming gangs across the country. «Anna,» another victim, also supports the idea of a national inquiry.
