Child grooming is more prevalent in London than in any other part of Britain, a leading child safeguarding campaigner has claimed.<\/p>\n

Chris Wild, a youth advisor and survivor of child sex abuse who campaigns for better protection of children in the care home system, has claimed that\u00a0child grooming is \u201cmore catastrophic\u201d in London than anywhere else in the country.<\/p>\n

Wild told<\/a> the BBC that during his work in London, he had seen \u201cchildren being groomed, children going missing, forced into county lines [drug gangs]\u201d and that others were forced into child prostitution.<\/p>\n

According to the recent review of grooming gang activity in Britain by Baroness Louise Casey, London\u2019s Metropolitan Police recorded 2.77 instances of suspected child sex abuse per 1,000 children over the past year.<\/p>\n

However, London local authorities only recorded 1.3 children being classified as in need of assessments for exploitation and 1.79 for confirmed child sex abuse. The significant disparity between police and local government figures suggests that the system is overlooking many children.<\/p>\n

A Met spokesman said \u201ctoo many victims, particularly young girls, were let down\u201d and that \u201cpolicing must and will do better\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile in London we assess that criminal exploitation, such as county lines, currently poses the most prevalent threat to children, we recognise \u2013 as the review finds \u2013 that our data must improve to give a fuller picture. We are acting on this.\u201d<\/p>\n
