艾米·沃克、露丝·格林报道：针对诱拐团伙实施儿童性虐待问题的全国调查宣布，将在伯明翰和威尔士开展有针对性的调查。
By Amy Walker, Ruth Green A national inquiry into child sexual abuse by grooming gangs has announced targeted investigations will take place in Birmingham and Wales.
该调查表示，这些调查将“审查诱拐团伙对儿童的性虐待和剥削行为，以及负责保护儿童的机构在两地所作出的回应”。
The inquiry said the probes would "examine the sexual abuse and exploitation of children by grooming gangs and the response of organisations responsible for protecting children" in both areas.
今年早些时候，大曼彻斯特郡的奥尔德姆、西约克郡的布拉德福德和基利以及伦敦被公布为地方调查的首批地点。
Oldham in Greater Manchester, Bradford and Keighley in West Yorkshire and London were announced as the first locations for local investigations earlier this year.
目前尚不清楚是否会选择更多地点。一些幸存者表示，他们的地区尚未被纳入调查范围，对此感到沮丧，并担心调查范围的扩大。
It is unclear whether further locations will be selected. Some survivors have expressed frustration that their area has not yet been included and said they were concerned about expanding the inquiry's scope.
菲奥娜·戈达德表示，伯明翰和威尔士显然存在“需要被充分倾听”的证据，她欢迎将这些地区纳入调查，但告诉英国广播公司，调查的规模“不应以牺牲调查深度为代价”。
Fiona Goddard said there was clearly evidence from Birmingham and Wales "that need to be properly heard" and welcomed their inclusion, but told the BBC the scale of the inquiry "must not come at the expense of the depth of investigation".
她表示，鉴于“调查已进行近一年，但进展相对有限”，这一点尤其令人担忧。
She said this was especially concerning given "we are already almost a year into the inquiry with relatively little progress".
卡尔利（非真名）在2004年于哈德斯菲尔德首次被诱拐时年仅12岁。她表示，她无法理解“为何一项覆盖威尔士这样庞大且复杂地区的调查可以被描述为深入调查”。
Carly, not her real name, was 12 years old when she was first groomed in Huddersfield in 2004. She said she could not understand "how an investigation covering an area as enormous and complex as Wales can be described as a deep dive".
“哈德斯菲尔德的幸存者如何能相信，他们的经历不会仅仅被纳入一个更大的国家图景中，从而被有效稀释？”英格兰和威尔士诱拐团伙法定独立调查由前首相基尔·斯塔默爵士于2025年6月宣布，并于4月开始运作。
"How are survivors in Huddersfield supposed to have confidence that our experiences will not simply be absorbed into a much bigger national picture and effectively watered down?" The Statutory Independent Inquiry into Grooming Gangs in England and Wales was announced by former Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in June 2025 and started work in April.
该调查由前儿童专员安妮·朗菲尔德女勋爵主持，有权强制个人和机构解释他们“为保护儿童免受性虐待所采取或未采取的行动”，并将审查各地区的虐待性质和规模。
Chaired by former children's commissioner Baroness Anne Longfield, it has the power to compel individuals and institutions to explain what they "did or did not do to protect children from being sexually abused", and will look at the nature and scale of abuse in each area.
这件事在启动前便风波不断，因为遭受虐待的幸存者呼吁时任保护事务大臣杰丝·菲利普斯辞职。
It faced turbulence prior to launching when abuse survivors called on former safeguarding minister Jess Phillips to quit.
调查此前表示，调查领域的选定依据包括受害者及幸存者在站出来揭露时受到怎样的对待，以及是否错失了防止伤害的机会。
The inquiry has previously said areas are chosen for investigation based on criteria including how victims and survivors were treated when they came forward, and whether opportunities to prevent harm were missed.
调查组成员佐伊·比林厄姆说：“我们将仔细审视各组织当时掌握了什么、决策是如何作出的、各机构如何协作，以及为何错失了保护儿童的机会。”
It said its decision to conduct an investigation in Birmingham reflected a combination of factors "including victim and survivor experience, indications of prevalence, harm and risk, and public concern". Panel member Zoë Billingham said: "We will look carefully at what organisations knew, how decisions were made, how agencies worked together, and why opportunities to protect children were missed".
威尔士的调查还将审查权力下放安排的运作情况，以及威尔士和英格兰各组织之间的跨境协作。朗菲尔德女勋爵表示，威尔士的受害者和幸存者等待答案已经“太久”。
The investigation in Wales will also examine the operation of devolved arrangements and cross-border working between organisations in Wales and England. Baroness Longfield said victims and survivors in Wales had waited "too long for answers".
