South Yorkshire Police officers to be investigated by IPCC
The Independent Police Complaints Commission today said it would investigate 10 South Yorkshire police officers over their handling of child sexual exploitation in Rotherham.
Risky Business manager appointed as Rotherham CSE specialist
Jayne Senior, former manager of Risky Business has been appointed as a specialist in child sexual exploitation (CSE), specifically to support the 1400 victims from Rotherham.
The town's MP, Sarah Champion has secured the additional funding to fill the role.
Ms Senior has been working with victims of child exploitation since she set up the Rotherham service in 1999. She has worked extensively with the police to secure prosecutions and will make sure that more abusers are imprisoned in the near future.
Since the release of the Jay report, victims and their families have been contacting local MP Sarah Champion for support, as many of them say that they no longer trust the Police or Local Authority. The new appointment will mean that the victims are able to get the best support, from an impartial source.
