Rochdale Borough Safeguarding Children Board: Child Sexual Exploitation Themed Review/
Review of Multi-agency Responses to the Sexual Exploitation of Children
This purpose of this report is to review how agencies in Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council, hereafter known as Rochdale, worked together from 2007 until 2012 to safeguard children and young people who were at risk of sexual exploitation. This review was commissioned by Rochdale Borough Safeguarding Children Board (RBSCB) in line with its statutory reviewing and investigative functions as defined in ‘Working Together to Safeguard Children: A guide to inter‐agency working to safeguard and promote the welfare of children’ (2010).
In December 2010, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) launched Operation Span to investigate a large group of men who were suspected of sexually exploiting children and young people in Rochdale. The Serious Case Review Screening Panel (SCRSP) considered, in depth and over the following year, the information provided by the police, the local authority and other agencies and organisations, about the work they had undertaken with young people affected by sexual exploitation. In December 2011, the SCRSP concluded that there were grounds to consider undertaking serious case reviews.
