The Met has been subject to annual child safeguarding inspections by HMICFRS since the significant failings identified by HMICFRS in 2016. Despite improvements, the 2022 report still presented serious and ongoing concerns. Do you share my concern that HMICFRS isn’t planning any further inspection of the Met under the banner of their national child protection inspections, and will you ask them to continue these inspections of the Met until vast improvements are seen?
