More sex abuse scandals continuing in Bradford

I see paragraph 3 contains that old chestnut: "lessons need to be learned". Standard response for every failure by authorities for years. :/

AKA we aren't going to do anything.

When you hear that it's either time to give up, or time to take matters in your own hands.
 
To be fair "lessons need to be learned" is a valid statement.

When learning is not applied to force change, that's when there is a problem.
The problem is that lessons very rarely are actually learned :( It's just a saying trotted out to divert attention and make it look like somethign is being done.

Yep.

There is a further issue where, say, one organisation learns and applies change, but that doesn't get passed on to similar organisations. That means they don't improve.

This happens more often that you would think.

Yup.

IIRC the aviation industry takes "lessons to be learned" extremely seriously, which is why after pretty much any major incident there are changes and improvements as they look at all the areas where things went wrong making changes to reduces the chances of it happening again (even when that costs money), rather than just finding a fall guy/saying "things have changed".
And the whole industry across the country/world takes on those lessons.
 
Yup.

That's the way it should be.

No-one should have to reinvent the wheel.
 
I take less issue with the 'lessons to be learned' part, and more with:

'responses to victims of this complex crime is not yet good enough'.

I don't understand how jailing child abusers is in anyway complex.

Its like the Ned Flanders scene 'We've done absolutely nothing and are all out of ideas'.

Not so much recently is it?..or do the actual designing building and testing of new planes not come under that?
