Child Protection Authority

The Child Protection Authority is a proposed government agency of the United Kingdom.

The creation of a Child Protection Authority was one of the recommendations of the report of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA), published in 2022.[1][2]

A proposal that the creation of the agency be made a statutory requirement as part of the Children's Wellbeing and Schools Bill was voted down in a vote in the House of Commons in February 2025.[3]

In April 2025, Jess Philips, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Safeguarding and Violence Against Women and Girls, announced that work would start on creating the agency.[1][4] Opposition politicians criticised the government for not having acted on the IICSA's recommendations sooner.[1]

As part of the recommendations made by Louise Casey in the report of the National Audit on Group-based Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, published in June 2025, the Child Protection Agency is planned to be one of the organizations responsible for ensuring inter-agency collaboration against child abuse.[5] The government has stated that it intends to implement all of the recommendations of the audit report.[6]
