  • Child Sexual Exploitation in Rotherham - Alexis Jay Report
    Child Sexual Exploitation in Rotherham - Alexis Jay report Date 10 September 2014 Author Martin Rogers LGiU/CSN Associate Summary The report of the Independent Inquiry into child sexual exploitation (CSE) in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013, conducted by Alexis Jay OBE, was published by Rotherham Borough Council (which commissioned it) on 26 August 2014. The Leader of the Council resigned the same day, taking responsibility on behalf of the Council for the historic failings described in the report, and apologising to the young people and their families who had been so badly let down. The Chief Executive has now said he is leaving. The report has received widespread media coverage, with regular comment since its publication, including an urgent question (a request for a statement) in the House of Commons to Home Secretary Theresa May from her shadow, Yvette Cooper, on 2 September. The Commons Home Affairs Committee takes further evidence on child sexual exploitation in Rotherham on 9 September. This briefing contains a short summary of the report, and focuses more on the reaction to it and the implications for local authorities and their partners. It will be of interest to elected members and officers with responsibility for the broad range of services for children and young people, all of which have a role to play in identifying those at risk of sexual exploitation and in successful approaches to tackling it. Overview The Independent Inquiry commissioned by Rotherham Borough Council into child sexual exploitation (CSE), and conducted by Professor Alexis Jay OBE (previously Chief Social Work Adviser to the Scottish Government), found that a conservative estimate of 1,400 children were sexually exploited over the full Inquiry period from 1997 to 2013.

  • Barnsley Rail Vision 2018 to 2033
    Barnsley Rail Vision 2018 to 2033 Getting Barnsley on Track Key Messages 1 Barnsley Rail Vision Getting Barnsley on Track Foreword The 1980’s and earlier rail rationalisations were particularly savage in disconnecting Barnsley Dearne Valley and the former coalfield communities of South East Wakefield and the ‘Five towns’ from the direct inter-city and inter-regional rail network. This had the further consequence of those communities being marginalised by subsequent rail investment. Today Barnsley Dearne Valley passengers experience poor rolling stock deployed on routes with low line-speeds and journey times that compare poorly against car travel. The Barnsley Rail Vision is welcomed as setting out a strategy for re- connecting Barnsley and its neighbouring Wakefield and Kirklees communities more directly to inter-city and inter-regional rail services. Delivering the vision will enable the Barnsley Dearne Valley economy – 10th most populous built up area in the Northern Powerhouse – deliver its full potential to both Sheffield and Leeds City Regions and the Sheffield- Barnsley-Wakefield-Leeds growth corridor. We look forward to promoting to key stakeholders full awareness of the rail vision and its importance to the national and sub-national economy and urging them to ensure inclusion of its aspirations in their own infrastructure and operational investment strategies. In particular HS2, Northern Powerhouse Rail, Network Rail and inter- city/inter-regional franchise investment strategies must provide excellent, high quality services linking Barnsley Dearne Valley and its Wakefield and Kirklees neighbouring communities and into the national high speed networks. Dan Jarvis MBE MP, Mayor of the Sheffield City Region Barnsley, its Dearne Valley and western rural communities all have a place in the Barnsley Rail Vision.
