Mostly Verified
Confidence: High
StandardThe text is a verbatim-looking scrape of a UK Parliament Early Day Motion (EDM) page for EDM 380 titled “Independent Rape Gang Inquiry Report”. Targeted checks against the official EDM site confirm the key structural claims: the EDM number/title, tabling date (16 June 2026), session (2026–27), motion text, and the listed signatories (Rupert Lowe as primary sponsor; Sir Gavin Williamson and Alex Easton as supporters; no withdrawn signatures). The excerpt also contains contextual and evaluative statements inside the motion text (e.g., claims about decades of abuse, institutional failures, and the inquiry’s findings) which are parliamentary motion assertions rather than independently evidenced findings; these should be treated as “stated in the EDM” rather than as verified facts about the underlying events/report.

Level: High
High confidence that the excerpt corresponds to the official UK Parliament EDM 380 page because the EDM site reproduces the same title, number, dates, motion text, and signature list. Confidence is lower (and therefore marked Unverified) for the substantive allegations embedded within the motion text, because they are not evidenced by the excerpt and were not independently corroborated by primary documentation of the underlying inquiry report in this assessment.

# Independent Rape Gang Inquiry Report
## EDM (Early Day Motion) 380: tabled on 16 June 2026
Tabled in the 2026-27 session.
This motion has been signed by 3 Members. It has not yet had any amendments submitted.
### Motion text
That this House notes the publication of the independent Rape Gang Inquiry Report, established to examine the organised sexual exploitation of children across the United Kingdom; pays tribute to the survivors, whistleblowers, parents, campaigners and professionals who gave evidence; expresses profound concern at testimony detailing decades of rape, trafficking, violence, murder and abuse, alongside repeated failures by police forces, local authorities, social services, health bodies and successive Governments to protect vulnerable children; further notes the Inquiry's findings regarding the scale of organised child sexual exploitation and the institutional reluctance to confront its causes and characteristics; believes that many victims were failed not only by their abusers but by the very institutions charged with their protection; calls on His Majesty's Government to formally engage with the Inquiry's findings and recommendations, to provide a full written response to Parliament, to publish a timetable for action, and to set out which recommendations it intends to implement; and urges the Government to demonstrate that no consideration of political sensitivity, community relations, or fear of causing offence will ever again take precedence over the protection of children.
