Labour Party review of sexual assault handling to take up to three monthsKEVIN STENT/STUFF Labour general secretary Andrew Kirton came under fire for the party's decision not to tell police, parents or the prime minister about alleged sexual assault at a Young Labour event last month. A wide-reaching review into the Labour Party's handling of sexual assault allegations is expected to take up to three months and every member of the party will be contacted in the process. MONIQUE FORD/STUFF Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has apologised for how slow the Labour Party was to get professional support for victims of alleged sexual assault at a Young Labour summer camp. That might include recommendations to the Labour Party Council"Ms Berryman is commencing immediately with the initial focus of her investigation on the Young Labour camp in February. The review is expected to take between two and three months," said Labour Party President, Nigel Haworth.
