to fully understand the detail and impact of other jurisdictions’ measures, in order
to inform the UK’s next steps.</p><p>Alongside this work, officials are reviewing
the current legislative framework and engaging a number of relevant departments across
Whitehall. We have engaged experts and survivors to understand how Government action
may impact them and continue to engage with key stakeholders.</p><p>The Government

it intends to proceed with an effective response.</p>
