💨 Abstract

The author, a survivor of grooming gangs, resigned from the national inquiry panel, citing emotional and physical strain. They and other survivors faced restrictions, including scripted interactions and censorship on discussing abusers' backgrounds. Concerns arose over the impartiality of proposed chairs and controlling behavior by the Home Office and NWG charity. The author felt silenced and unsafe, ultimately leaving the inquiry.
