Home secretary Theresa May has told the parliament on Tuesday that government is set to launch “institutional political correctness” probe to inspect the Rotherham child sex abuse scandal.
The response of Britain’s interior minister came in the wake of a report last week by Professor Alexis Jay revealing that at least 1,400 children had been sexually exploited in Rotherham over a period of sixteen years from 1997 to 2013.
Ms May has accused the local authorities in the English town of Rotherham of a “complete dereliction of duty” for their failure to respond to the sexual abuse of at least 1,400 children by men of mostly Pakistani heritage and taking timely action against the culprits. She has assured that the government would act on the report and adopt the measures to strengthen the existing procedures designed to protect children.
The home secretary has described the shocking report into the scandal as an account of the “terrible failures by Rotherham Council – and by the police and other agencies – to protect vulnerable children.”
Ms May has also insisted that the perpetrators of child sex abuse in Rotherham “must be brought to justice”.
The Labour Party has suspended four of its members who were serving in senior roles in the local administration at the time of the abuses. The suspended members include Councillors Gwendoline Russell and Shaukat Ali, as well as the council’s former leader Roger Stone and ex-deputy leader Jahangir Akhtar.
A spokesman for Labour party has stated: “Further action against others in position of responsibility at the time may follow.
“Those responsible must be and will be held to account.”
