'Real voices' – child sexual exploitation in Greater Manchester. An independent report by Ann Coffey MP (web pdf, 1.7mb)
Called for by Tony Lloyd, and chaired by Ann Coffey MP, the Coffey Inquiry is looking into the issue of child sexual exploitation.
The inquiry will speak to agencies, experts, victims and their families, as well as drawing together the range of reports published on specific cases and the broader issue of child sexual exploitation. Where possible, evidence will be heard in public. The inquiry will then report back with recommendations on how agencies can work better together to respond effectively to the issue.
How do we better protect our young people?
Ann Coffey is asking local people to talk to her about what needs to be done to help communities, the police and other services to better protect our young people:
In Greater Manchester, we have all been horrified by the sexual exploitation of young girls in our community by groups of men.
I have been asked by Tony Lloyd, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Greater Manchester, to look into what changes the police and other services have made to better protect children throughout Greater Manchester since the Rochdale victims first came forward and at what more needs to be done.
One of the key concerns from victims and their families was that they felt that they were not listened to and were not taken seriously.
I am interested in hearing from Greater Manchester victims, their families, young people, schools, faith and church groups and the wider community about what you think needs to be done to help communities, the police and other services to better protect our young people.
Please write to me at coffeya@parliament.uk or by letter to Ann Coffey MP, House of Commons, Westminster SW1A OAA.
Yours Faithfully, Ann Coffey
MP for Stockport and Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Runaway and Missing Children and Adults
Terms of reference for the inquiry
Ms Coffey describes the Terms of Reference of her inquiry:
"This inquiry will focus on what changes have been made in safeguarding children from sexual exploitation by Greater Manchester Police and partner agencies since the Rochdale sexual grooming case and at what more needs to be done in the future.
"One of the key issues in the Rochdale case was the failure of police and partner agencies to listen properly to young victims and their families and to adequately respond to them.
"It is clear that victims in Rochdale and elsewhere were not identified or taken seriously because of negative and discriminatory attitudes of the police and other partner agencies towards them. Their behaviour was seen as a life style choice and because of that they were not seen as vulnerable children and were not given the protection they should have expected from organisations with a responsibility to safeguard them.
"I will be focusing on how far these attitudes and cultures within organisations have changed and at what barriers still remain to be overcome. How much better are the police and other agencies at identifying risk of child sexual exploitation at an early stage and preventing harm coming to children, particularly when they runaway or go missing?
"The police and other agencies cannot protect children without the support of the wider community so I want to explore how we can engage communities in the fight against CSE in Greater Manchester.
"What has changed in terms of involving schools in informing young people about the risk of child sexual exploitation and educating boys to understand issues of consent?
"I want to hear from victims, their families and the public and will be consulting widely and I would like people to contact me and let me know their views. I want to know what motivates the offenders and brings groups together to exploit children.
"At the end I would like to have recommendations that build on what we have learnt from the past and will improve awareness and understanding of CSE across Greater Manchester."

Death by dangerous cycling: New Law Review recommends that cyclist should be punished same way as drivers
It's believed the new policy about death caused by dangerous cycling would be announced next week. This law is in line with the public concern over the safe use of roadways in the UK.
Currently, motorists convicted of causing death due to reckless driving are sentenced to 14 years imprisonment while bikers are given 2 years. Prior to this current review, there were no specific rules for cyclists in this regard save an old law from Queen Victoria's Era enacted to deal with the reckless handling of horses and carriages.
There have been efforts made in the past to review the law, however, things came to a head with the recent case of Charlie Alliston, a cyclist, who was jailed for 18 months for causing the death of a 44-year-old Kim Briggs.
However, to Mathew, Ms. Briggs widower, the issue seems different. He believes it'll be a big achievement to get the law changed since we're no longer using the horse and cart and that more punishment should be attached to death caused by reckless cycling. At least the punishment should carry the same weight as death caused by motorists.
But not only the case of Ms. Briggs has sparked interest in the review of the law concerning death caused by reckless cycling. The rising toll of death in recent years have made many to feel concerned about the shared pathway by cyclists and pedestrians. In 2015 alone, it was reported that 2 pedestrians were killed by dangerous cycling while a number amounting to 96 people were injured in dangerous cycling-related accidents.
A spokesperson from the department of transportation has come up to give updates on the recent development. He assured that the ministers are already looking into the issues and the law will soon be reviewed. He believes the new law will mete out the same punishment to death or injuries caused by dangerous cycling equivalent to those caused by motorists.
While all fingers point at cyclist at the moment for being responsible for the accidents, few other persons have expressed a different opinion. If the laws for cyclist are being reviewed then stricter punishment should also be considered for jaywalking and reckless pedestrian.
In most cases, accidents due to cycling is a two-way case and as such one party should not be held responsible for what they both might have caused," they argued.

Leaving the Working Class Life for Rock 'n' Roll
Indie Rock Band 'The Glorious Sons' Tours Canada to Resurrect Rock 'n' Roll
Fringe Arts by Leigha Vegh — Published October 14, 2014 | Comments

Indie rock band The Glorious Sons have dropped a new album, The Union, an acknowledgment of the members' labour-intensive jobs before the band's formation.
"We know the working-class and the middle-class family of Western culture. We thought we would be doing a disservice to ourselves to not carry those themes on our album," explained Brett Emmons.
Brett worked with his younger brother Jay in contracting, while Adam Paquette was a city worker and Chris Huot a plumber before their recording contract was signed.
Jay invited Brett to leave Halifax—where he had dropped out of school and was performing locally—and come join the rest of the band in Kingston, Ont.
"My younger brother Jay offered me a place in the band because he knew I was going through some hard times and [thus] Glorious Sons was formed," he said.
While joining the band has brought success, there have still been some challenges associated with their rise to fame.
"The biggest challenge at first is being on tour. Once you get past the first three weeks, you realize that you wouldn't rather be doing anything else in the world. You adapt to the lifestyle and learn to love it," Brett said.
"Although, I know for a lot of people touring is also a challenge because you're away from your family," he added.
The silver lining for Brett is the reward associated with leaving the working-class lifestyle and embarking on the journey of being a professional musician.
"The challenge of touring is very easy to overcome once you realize that you could be at home, [which isn't] as fun as being a rock 'n' roller," Brett said.
The band will be the opening act for Airborne. The Australian rock band chose The Glorious Sons to tour with them, rather than the reverse.
"The way they said it was, they wanted somebody to go on tour with [them] that looked like they could have a barbeque with," Brett joked.
The Glorious Sons are also currently signed to Blackbox Music, whom they chose out of a variety of offers from recording labels. They have been signed for over a year after an interview they had with them one day before a performance in Toronto.
The members of the band have learned valuable lessons they say have added to their success.
"We matured as songwriters. In my lyrics, I learned how to tie themes together rather than just sing about something like a broken heart," Brett said.
On a more personal note, the songwriter shared that producing music is not just about catering to the crowd, but more importantly about being genuine with audience members and oneself as an artist.
"I just want to keep on making honest music and hope the people like it, but I want to keep on making honest music for myself," he said.
Despite their bad-boy appearance, the quintet shows a soft spot in its song "Heavy."
The lyrics of the song speak about the importance of valuing one's own well-being, which was an important topic after Brett's personal experience with betrayal.
"A few people in my life betrayed my trust, which upset me," Brett said with a heavy sigh.
"I wrote the line, 'you ain't a comrade or a friend, I'm not a brother, I'm just a means to an end.' It's basically about cutting the negative influences in your life to better yourself and make sure that you're happy," he explained.
