Here’s a summary of our discussion at @UKHouseofLords. Thank you @AmyClowrey for capturing it so concisely. You can still watch #Groomed #ANationalScandal on @Channe4 streaming.
Yesterday I attended a screening at the @UKHouseofLords alongside @Channel4, @CandourTV & @AnnaHallTV, @MaggieOliverUK, Erin, Jade & Chantelle who featured in #GroomedANationalScandal. My thoughts here #RapeGangs #CSE switalskis.com/blog/what-do-s…
It’s the 2nd time this year that a @CandourTV film has been shown in Westminster. In February #ThePush & today #Groomed #ANationalScandal. Both for @Channel4. Thank you to @ayeshahazarika for hosting us today & to all the peers & MPs who came. #calltoaction #casey #govttoaccount
Today @CandourTV went to the #HouseofLords thanks to the invitation from @ayeshahazarika. Our contributors from @Channel4 #Groomed #ANationalScandal met peers & MPs & were able to tell their stories & call for action. A very important & special day.
Delighted to see @AmberSofiaH pitch @sheffdocfest #climatespring #bloodlands @CandourTV
Just arrived home, after reading , speaking to and listening to so many survivors today, they need so much credit for where we are today with Baroness Casey’s report … can you even begin to imagine … - not been believed as a child - sharing your story over and over again -…
We are so thrilled to see the women from our film #Groomed #Anationalscandal empowered to advocate for others & put the survivors at the heart of this issue where they belong. #Jade #Chantelle #Erin #Steph #Scarlett you are all incredible. Thank you @GMB @MaggieOliverUK
Jade and Chantelle say they survived years of abuse at the hands of grooming gangs, being drugged and sexually assaulted on multiple occasions, Chantelle from just 11 years old.
We are so proud of all our survivors in #Groomed #ANationalScandal. They have been working their socks off over the last couple of days to make sure no one forgets that the survivors’ voice needs to be at the very centre of these changes. It’s Erin’s first big interview tonight!
My client, Erin (not her real name), and I will be on @channel5_tv at 7.30pm discussing the inquiry. Erin featured in @AnnaHallTV documentary ‘Groomed: A National Scandal’ & met with Baroness Casey (supported by @MaggieOliverUK) to share her lived experiences. #GroomingGangs #CSE
What an incredible day, Jade & Chantelle have spent the last 6 weeks using their voices & today they have been heard! They have helped to change the law! #Groomed #ANationalScandal @channel4 On @GMB this morning with @MaggieOliverUK #Casey
Maggie, Chantelle & Jade from our film #Groomed #ANationalScandal are all on @GMB this morning at 815. It’s been so wonderful to see how the voices of the survivors in our film are now reaching far & wide. And #Groomed is still on @Channel4 streaming.
I have had two private meetings with Baroness Casey @Casey_Review in the past three months and at her request I have also taken a group of 10 survivors to meet her and share their horrific experiences with her. She called me yesterday to update me and for that I am very…
A new national inquiry announced. The five women in our film are now at the centre of discussions around how we hold people to account who have failed to act. Watch #Groomed #ANationalScandal on @Channe4 streaming and see how these strong courageous women are fighting for justice
Watch #Groomed #ANationalScandal on @Channel4 streaming - a devastating film focussing on 5 women’s stories of gang grooming. Chantal, Jade, Erin, Steph, Scarlett all have urgent unanswered questions. I hope now govt’s announced a national inquiry they will get answers #Grooming
Jade & Chantelle from our @Channel4 #Groomed: a national scandal are on #Newsnight now.

"It makes me angry" Steph, a victim of grooming gangs, says that Leader of the House of Commons Lucy Powell's 'dog whistle' comment shows "she doesn't know how we actually feel" #BBCLauraK bbc.in/4j1pJDV
