Organised Child Sexual Exploitation
Dear Oxfordshire County Council,
1. If applicable, what was the earliest date that the Council became aware of organised "gangs" involved in Child Sexual Exploitation operating within the wider Oxfordshire area? As reported in the media, such gangs are often referred to as "Asian Grooming Gangs" or "Pakistani Rape Gangs." However, for the purpose of this request, please refrain from using generic search terms such as "Pakistani Rape Gangs."
2. I would like copies of all emails that the Council might hold relating to organised Child Sexual Exploitation that the Council has been made aware of or has discussed, either internally or externally. Please consider a time frame of the past 4 years.
3. If the Council becomes aware of such criminal activities as Child Sexual Exploitation taking place in the Oxford area, please provide details of the job titles and departments that would be informed.
Yours faithfully,
Stephanie Shah
