Children who were at significant risk of abuse but whose situations did not fit the main categories of neglect, physical injury, sexual and emotional abuse were recorded under 'grave concern'. After the removal of this category, these children were re-classified within the main categories including sexual abuse. |
The House has discussed on numerous occasions the law and practice surrounding the release of prisoners. Of course, sentencing in an individual case is a matter for a judge. If there is a view that a sentence is unduly lenient, the Law Officers can refer the case to the Court...

I hear what my hon. Friend says, but to be perfectly frank, in my experience the story is that the legislation is not giving enough power to communities so that they can watch out for and be protected from child sex abusers. My hon. Friend will be able to ask...

In my final comments, I sought the Minister’s assurance that she would try to ensure that there is joined-up thinking between the Scottish Executive and our own Westminster Departments.
