The Home Secretary is set to address Parliament over the review, which prompted the Prime Minister to implement a full probe after months of resistance.
Earlier this year, the Government dismissed calls for a public inquiry, saying its focus was on putting in place the outstanding recommendations already made in a seven-year national inquiry by Professor Alexis Jay.
She told the BBC’s Westminster Hour that “we have had the Jay Inquiry before, there are lots of recommendations already on the table so whilst I welcome this announcement, at the same time it shouldn’t be an excuse for the Government or other agencies to delay action in terms of implementing the recommendations of previous inquiries”.
Cooper said that it was “unforgivable” that “not enough people” listened to victims in the past, but ministers “are changing that now”.
“Not enough people listened to them then. That was wrong and unforgivable. We are changing that now.”
The review comes after a row on the issue was ignited earlier this year, when Starmer became embroiled in a row with tech billionaire Elon Musk over calls for a national investigation.
Asked whether the Prime Minister had changed his mind about the idea of a national inquiry, the Chancellor told the Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg programme: “I think Keir Starmer, our Prime Minister, has always been really focused, as he was when he was director of public prosecutions, on the victims and not grandstanding.
A children’s charity has said that the Government must not wait until the end of the inquiry to implement the recommendations from existing reports sich as the Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA).
“That includes upskilling social workers and other professionals to spot the signs of abuse, as well as investing in vital support services to help children experiencing life-changing consequences of abuse and to keep them safe from further harm.”
