Rotherham Borough Council commissioned Professor Jay and her team to complete a review of Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) in 2013, after a recognition that children had been badly let down by local services. Professor Jay, a former social work adviser to the Scottish government, and author of other reviews (for example into Children’s Services in Jersey) reported back in August 2014. Her report received extensive coverage, with headlines featuring the much cited estimate that 1400 children had been victimized over the 15 year period.
