The beginning of 2025 has been a pivotal time for the Child Protection and Abuse Investigation (CPAI) portfolio, as it experienced a phenomenal surge in media attention which as always increases demands on our teams and partner agencies. Whilst the impact and subsequent waves were large we did receive promising news which included a series of measures including an increase in funding allowing us to expand our efforts further. Since these announcements, our dedicated teams have been working tirelessly to ensure that the uplift in funding leads to real, tangible outcomes for victims and survivors. Behind the scenes, a great deal of work has been taking place, and the effects of these efforts will be seen over the coming months and years. While some of the work will take time to fully implement, we are already seeing the beginnings of progress, and so we want to share this progress with you. #VKPP #HydrantProgramme Becky Riggs #TOEX #ChildProtection #Totality #Data
