Sir Keir Starmer will be told to launch a new national inquiry into grooming gangs, following a bombshell report set to link the scandal with Pakistani men.
The Prime Minister is expected to be warned that white British girls were targeted and ignored due to "fears of racism".
The review by Baroness Casey, due to be announced next week, is understood by The Times to recommend a new national inquiry.
Starmer stated earlier in the year that another national inquiry would prolong justice for the victims, by delaying the wait for recommendations from previous inquiries to be integrated.

An initial announcement has been scheduled for Wednesday, however, Whitehall insiders suggest it could be brought forward after some details of Casey's report were leaked.
The Tories have tabled a change to the Crime and Policing Bill, which would force ministers to start "a national statutory inquiry into grooming gangs".
Downing Street is believed to be concerned about potential civil unrest following the release of the report.

GB News national exposé revealed that there have been only 500 convictions and zero deportations since 2011.
Jonathan Hinder, Labour MP for Pendle and Clitheroe, told GB News' Chopper's Political Podcast that "we need a national reckoning on" the grooming gangs scandal.
The Labour MP said: "I would say that we should be seriously thinking about whether a national inquiry is required.
"It is the idea that things have been covered up because of cultural sensitivities. We cannot have that. If we want to have trust [in law and order]."
Seven Asian men were recently found guilty of using two teenage girls as 'sex slaves' in Rochdale
GB NewsSeven Asian men have recently been found guilty of sexually exploiting two white teenage girls in Rochdale over a five-year period.
Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court heard how the defendants targeted the vulnerable girls, who were just 13 years old when the abuse began.
The men groomed their victims as "sex slaves", exploiting their vulnerabilities through a campaign of manipulation.
Three of the convicted men were Pakistani-born market stallholders.
Reacting to the verdict, Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said: "The crimes committed by these men are sickening. Their victims were raped and abused for years, and the youngest was just 13 years old.
"It should not have taken 20 years to get these convictions. This kind of abuse was actively covered up by the authorities for too long - simply because the perpetrators were mainly of Pakistani heritage and police and local councils were more concerned about race relations than about protecting young and vulnerable girls."
