First phase of inquiry identified multiple failings to prevent murders of three girls, which government will ‘urgently’ address

Downing Street has accepted all recommendations for changes made by an inquiry that found the Southport killings could have been prevented and identified “fundamental failings”, the home secretary has said.

The government would do “whatever is needed to protect the public”, Shabana Mahmood said, as she accepted in full the recommendations from the first phase of the Southport inquiry.
