Today was the third and final day of our judicial review hearing at the High Court. We've now made our case and await the judge's decision. Given the significance of the issues, we may have a little while to wait, but we'll share news as soon as we have it.

As we shared in our updates over the first two days, we have been shocked by some of the arguments put forward by the Government. At times dismissive and, at others, deeply callous, they have reinforced exactly why this challenge matters. Unfortunately, today was no different.

The Government's legal team argued that these decisions are matters of political judgement, that "policymaking is complicated" and that Governments face a "myriad of pressures". None of that is in dispute. But it cannot be an excuse for failing to act.

Some of the recommendations at the heart of this challenge have been around since IICSA's interim report in 2018, including the professional registration of staff working in children's homes. Yet here we are, in 2026, still arguing about whether the Government is obliged to implement them. All the while, the Government acknowledged in court that 500,000 children are sexually abused every year.

How many more years must pass? How many more children must be failed before protecting them becomes the priority?

We are a small charity, funding this challenge through the generosity of people who believe, as we do, that children must be protected and that promises made to survivors must mean something.

The Government is using taxpayers' money to defend its position that it does not have to act on recommendations intended to protect them.

We owe an enormous thank you to the survivors and family members whose courage in sharing their experiences has helped bring us to this point. To @MaggieOliverUK , our founder and chair, whose relentless campaigning over almost two decades has refused to let these issues be ignored. And to every single person who has stood alongside us, supported this challenge, donated, shared our campaign or sent words of encouragement. We could not have done this without you.

The courtroom was packed with survivors, families and supporters. A powerful reminder of the human cost of broken promises and years of inaction. Yet the Government argued that its failure to act on promises to implement the recommendations had caused no detriment! The people filling that courtroom told a very different story.

We are proud of what has been achieved. But this is not the end.

We haven't come this far to stop now. Our fight for accountability, change and better protection for children continues.

Day two of our judicial review brought into sharp focus just how far the Government is prepared to go to defend its inaction.

The Government's position includes:

▪️The Maggie Oliver Foundation has "no standing" and should not be allowed to bring this challenge.

▪️Promises made by ministers about implementing recommendations cannot be relied upon.

▪️"No detriment" has been caused by broken promises.

▪️Inquiry recommendations "carry no legal force."

▪️Pain-inducing compliance techniques used on children in custody do not need to be outlawed.

Whatever the legal position, we believe many people will be shocked by what these arguments say about how Government views its responsibilities to survivors and children.

If a charity representing survivors, and the very people affected by these failures, cannot ask why promised child protection measures have not been implemented, who can?

Survivors and the public were repeatedly told that action would follow. To now be told that those commitments count for nothing risks seriously undermining trust in the entire process.

At the very same time, the country is embarking on another three-year inquiry with a budget of £65 million, which will once again ask victims and survivors to revisit their most traumatic experiences.

Why should anyone believe things will be different this time?

The claim that "no detriment" has been caused by broken promises is, frankly, cruel.

More than 7,000 survivors came forward because they believed change would follow.

To suggest there is no consequence when those promises are not honoured ignores the trust they placed in the process and the retraumatisation of feeling unheard and ignored.

And if governments can spend years asking survivors to relive their trauma, commission inquiries, make recommendations and promise change, only to argue that those recommendations "carry no legal force", what exactly is the point of the process?

Finally, there is the question of pain-inducing compliance techniques used on children in custody.

The Government argues these powers are used rarely, in exceptional circumstances and only when necessary.

However, children's rights charity Article 39 has intervened in the case and has presented powerful evidence that challenges that picture.

These are children in the care of the State. The fact that we are still having to argue about whether intentionally inflicting pain on children should be lawful is shocking in itself.

We came away from court today more convinced than ever that this challenge matters.

Promises made to protect children must mean something.

😤 FURIOUS Maggie Oliver takes the gloves off and directly points the finger at Andy Burnham for blocking action on grooming gangs: “Do something! Stop making empty promises!”

I’ve rarely seen Maggie Oliver so angry and so willing to call out politicians by name. Bear in mind she has a relationship with Andy Burnham going back years, that alone tells you just how furious she is right now, and she has every right to be. The public is right behind her.

Asked by Wilfred Frost whether she is pointing the finger at Burnham for years of promises after local and national reviews, and whether his words are empty, Maggie let him know in no uncertain terms:

“I am pointing the finger! This week he’s talking about the Russell Brand case and David Walliams and saying that the stories of these victims in those cases will bring change and I’m not in any way underplaying the magnitude of what’s happened to those women, what I’m saying is we’re talking about failures over decades.”

“He could not be in a better position now, he is the Prime Minister. He has sent all his lawyers to argue why they should not bring in the recommendations of the 7-year inquiry that gave 7,500 survivors and victims hope that change would come.”

“Theresa May said it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to protect children of the future. It matters! Do something! Stop making empty promises!”

Maggie is a fighter. She’s been doing this for decades, endlessly fighting for real change, yet they’re still not listening. They pretend they are, they praise her, but when it comes down to it they refuse to do what’s actually needed and she’s had enough!

She probably thought things would finally change under Burnham. Instead he’s literally fighting her in court to block the recommendations. The man is a fraud. No different to Starmer and the rest who’ve done nothing.

Keep going, Maggie. Keep the spotlight on them and try to shame him into doing what must be done. 🫡

Day 2 of our JR today.

Still consumed in legal arguments as the govt says they don’t HAVE to do anything. Public enquiries have no legal obligation to implement any recommendations!

That’s true of course. But what arrogance! How insensirive and dismissive of all survivors and victims who believed the promises made to them - that retraumatising themselves to bring change were just empty words! Empty promises!!

And of course it begs the question, why are we going into yet ANOTHER public enquiry …. That’s the real question here …. And why spend billions of public Monday in public enquiries….. it seems as though it’s just another way to avoid action and accountability and kick the ball down the road!!! 😡😡😡

But we The Maggie Oliver Foundation are fighting this to the death and doing our best to expose the hypocrisy and lies of successive governments!

We and our incredible legal team Howe and Co can but try…

Esto es de lo más grave que ha pasado en Europa las ultimas décadas. Estámos hablando de niñas indefensas violadas en manada, sometidas a terribles torturas y salvajadas Y todo ello ha quedado impune😤

Day 2 of our groundbreaking Judicial Review today.

Still consumed in legal arguments as the govt says they don’t HAVE to do anything. Public enquiries have no legal obligation to implement any recommendations! And by NOT bringing in the recommendations of IICSA they argue there in “NO DETRIMENT” to anyone!!!! Just unbelievable, disgusting, offensive and totally contemptuous….

They don’t have to act on recommendations, that’s of course true. But what arrogance! How insensitive and dismissive of all survivors and victims who believed the promises made to them - that retraumatising themselves to bring change were just empty words! Empty promises!!
