Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many times the Minister with cross-departmental responsibilities for child sexual exploitation has met groups of survivors of historic child abuse in the last 12 months.

The Minister for Crime Prevention [the Minister with cross-departmental responsibility for CSE] chairs the National Group on Sexual Violence against Children and Vulnerable People, which has met every four to six weeks since its
formation in April 2013, and includes in its membership the voluntary organisations Rape Crisis, NSPCC and Barnardo’s. The National Group coordinates Government action on the sexual abuse of children and vulnerable people.
