answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/10/2014 answer text <p>Professor Alexis Jay's report into Child Sexual Exploitation in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013 is an account of the failures by Rotherham Council - and by the police and other organisations - to protect vulnerable children. It is highlighted that in Rotherham, the majority of known perpetrators were of Pakistani heritage though it does not comment on the religious beliefs of any of the perpetrators.</p><p> </p><p>Child sexual exploitation is not exclusive to any single culture, community, race or religion. It happens in all areas of the country and can take many forms. We are clear that political or cultural sensitivities must never get in the way of preventing and uncovering child abuse. We are committed to dealing with this Criminal activity and there has never any excuse for failing to bring it's perpetrators to justice.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Newby question first answered 06/10/2014 10:40:59 answering member 1916 label Biography information for Lord Newby

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p>The failings in Rotherham exposed by this inquiry are appalling and the Coalition Government is absolutely clear that the lessons of past failures must be learned. This report was commissioned by Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council in October 2013. The terms of reference state that the Council will make public their response to the report, which I understand they are now currently considering. <br><br>I visited Rotherham in early September to meet interested parties and emphasise the importance the Government attaches to this matter. The Government has announced the establishment of an independent Child Abuse Inquiry Panel to examine the way state and non-state institutions have treated child sexual exploitation. It will take full account of what happened in Rotherham and elsewhere, and will advise on any further action (which would include any legislative changes) needed to address any gaps or failings within our current child protection systems. In addition, the National Group, which I lead, will later this year be publishing an update workplan, which will take into account the events in Rotherham.</p><p /> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Norman Baker question first answered 19/09/2014 15:18:14 answering member 28 label Biography information for Norman Baker
