A major review into child sexual exploitation (CSE) in Greater Manchester is set to come to a conclusion by the end of this year, leaders have confirmed.
The final stage of the independent review, which started six years ago, will now look at how Greater Manchester Police and the 10 councils in the region handle cases of sexual exploitation of children and young people in light of historic failings.
A report focusing on Rochdale is also expected to be published later this year. It follows previous phases of the CSE assurance review, which focused on Manchester and Oldham and led to the launch of new police operations.
