the home office clarified she was talking about three cases in rochdale, rotherham and telford, becausehow many of the children they have recorded as being exploited in some way are actually being sexually exploited. they don't know the ethnicity of the people that might be exploiting them. the government wants better data but has been accused of focusing too much on race. ethnicity is important and nothing should get in the way of investigating, prosecuting child sexual exploitation. but if you look at the overall figure, that is a relatively small element of it. that doesn't mean it's not to be dealt with, don't get me wrong, but if we are not clear about the full picture, then we won't have a proper response. and this from the charity visited this morning. it's really important that - by raising an issue such as race, we don't create other blindspots, because for sure there are many, many predators who prey on vulnerable children i who are from a range i of cultural backgrounds. they need to bring forward and conclude the online harm bill to tackle all the online grooming that happen
