Child abuse inquiry chair says 'victims want action'
Victims "clearly want action" and the time has passed for a new national inquiry into grooming gangs, the woman who led a seven-year inquiry into child sexual abuse says.
Speaking to Today's Nick Robinson, Professor Alexis Jay says that "people should get on with" implementing her recommendations and "locally people need to step up to the mark and do the things that have been recommended".
The Conservatives and Reform UK have called for a national inquiry into grooming gangs after the subject came under the spotlight after Elon Musk made a number of posts on his social media platform, X.
