Rotherham - government sets up probe

The failings exposed by the Rotherham inquiry are appalling and the Government is absolutely clear that the lessons of past failures must be learned.

That is why the government is establishing an independent inquiry panel of experts in the law and child protection to consider whether public bodies - and other non-state institutions - have taken seriously their duty of care to protect children from sexual abuse. The government has also set up a Home Office led National Group, through which agencies are working together to better identify those at risk and create a more victim-focused culture within the police, health and children’s services.

The government will continue to work to ensure victims are not left to suffer in silence and those who exploit them are brought to justice.
