Brilliant to have @SadiqKhan backing this project and my #NextStopThamesmead campaign. It has been vital to work together with him, TfL, the GLA, Greenwich Council and residents to deliver this project for Thamesmead.

I've asked the Met to leave no stone unturned to secure justice for the victims. As the Met carries out its vital work to re-examine cases over the past 15 years, this package of support will ensure victims and survivors have the care & specialist support services they deserve.

Today I’ve announced a new £2.4m package of support for victims and survivors of Child Sexual Exploitation. Any individuals, groups or grooming gangs exploiting children for sex are utterly abhorrent and I want justice for every single victim of these horrific crimes.
Sir Sadiq Khan says the money will fund new sexual violence advocates and expand counselling provision. https://t.co/UxD8UOgKtC
