Concerns about a police force’s response to children at risk of sexual exploitation has prompted a call for an investigation.
A councillor and former Durham police sergeant has pointed to “shocking” findings in an HM inspectors’ report into Durham Police’s safeguarding of vulnerable children.
This comes days after a scathing report from the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) found “extensive failures” in the way child sexual exploitation is tackled by the authorities.
