The Home Office has published the government’s response to the recommendations set out in the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) report into institutional responses to the sexual abuse of children outside the UK. The response includes recommendations for: the development of a national plan of action addressing child sexual abuse and exploitation overseas by UK nationals; bringing forward legislation for the establishment of a list of countries where children are considered to be at high risk of sexual abuse and exploitation from overseas offenders; and extending the geographical reach and mandatory nature of the Disclosure and Barring Service scheme.
