Children's services in Rotherham remain 'inadequate', Ofsted finds
Children's services in Rotherham remain "inadequate", according to an Ofsted inspection launched after a report found widespread sexual exploitation in the town.
'We accept findings' of report, says council
Young people in Rotherham are still at risk of being abused, according to the latest report into child sexual exploitation in the town.
The report, by education watchdog OFSTED, highlighted widespread or serious failures at Rotherham council, and classed the authority's children's services as "inadequate".
The Council say they have accepted the findings of the report, and measures are in place to improve the safety of young people.
