The announcement includes the setting up of a review to be conducted by Baroness Louise Casey. This will examine 'existing data and evidence to draw a comprehensive picture of the nature, scale and profile of group-based child sexual abuse offending identified by police and agencies, and equip law enforcement with the information and understanding they need to combat these crimes. This rapid analysis of data and evidence will allow us to deliver quicker change on the recommendations in the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse report (IICSA).'
