GB News can reveal 1,665 children may have been at risk of being sexually exploited in Rotherham since 2017.
The numbers identified as being at the highest risk in risk assessment forms by Rotherham Council increased between 2016 and 2020.
Rotherham Council’s risk assessment forms show that this year – up to the 6th October – 377 children may have been at risk – with 53 given the highest risk rating.
The data also shows the number of children identified as potentially being at the highest risk increased between 2016 and 2020.
It comes after a report this week from opposition Conservatives on Rotherham Council claimed there were “multiple examples of active grooming and CSE” in the town – although this was disputed by the council and South Yorkshire Police.
Rotherham Council said this week that it takes all allegations of child abuse very seriously.
It added that the independent inspectors OFSTED say.- in their words – that children’s services in Rotherham have been “transformed” since 2014.
The council also added that not every allegation will be validated but urges people to report any suspicions to them.
