This is a decisive moment in the government's slow but increasingly vital response to the grooming gang scandal and the launch of the inquiry.
There have been many concerns since the inquiry was announced that the government and the inquiry team would fail the many thousands of survivors behind this investigation.
There were concerns that GB News raised last autumn, when many survivors were quitting the panel because they were concerned that there would not be a laser-focused investigation into grooming gangs and that it would be expanded into broader child sexual exploitation.
We've also had concerns about the draft terms of reference that spoke about ethnicity, culture and religion, but only in the style of institutional responses.
But now, with the language around the announcement and the specific terms of reference that they have deployed, it's clear that the inquiry team and the civil servants behind it have learned the lessons of that criticism and have put forward a much more robust platform to ensure that this investigation goes everywhere it needs to go.
All three members of the panel, led by Baroness Longfield, have given very clear, very strong statements about what they will do next, about where they will investigate, and that they will not shy away from the difficult questions.
But for thousands of victims around the country and their families, there have been many occasions where they have heard robust language but not seen that turned into robust action.
This is the last chance to get this right, after previous investigations have shied away from difficult questions or passed the buck on tricky wording or tricky topics.
This can't happen again. Now our focus must turn to how they can turn these promises into reality, particularly how they might commission and launch inquiries and investigations into the ethnicity, culture and religious issues.

We know that the wider British state, and indeed academia and parts of the media, are terrified of these questions, with many members of all of those institutions preferring to slander people who ask and raise them.
So what can they do to reassure and promote investigation in those spaces? That's a big test for the inquiry team. They also need to very quickly earn the trust of victims.
After so much delay and so much concern that led to people quitting the panel last year, that's another key test for the inquiry team.
Another key test will be whether the people who abused their positions of authority go to jail. That will be a real test of accountability.
We will be holding them to account throughout, and there is no doubt in my mind that the pressure provided by GB News viewers, listeners and readers has led to the inquiry team changing their terms of reference from the previous draft that was wholly insufficient and released last year.
This pressure has already changed the inquiry, and more of it will ensure it goes everywhere it has to.
