SCOTLAND needs a national strategy for tackling child sexual exploitation, according to a Holyrood committee.
An inquiry by the Public Petitions Committee, convened by David Stewart MSP, found there could be a "piecemeal approach" to the issue, with a lack of co-ordination among some groups.
The inquiry was launched following a petition from Barnardo's Scotland.
