Rotherham council has been criticised by the government Ombudsman over the way it investigated complaints into the charity Swinton Lock which supports CSE survivors, and the woman behind it, Jayne Senior.
It's after Jayne Senior complained that council officials raided her charity without proper explanation.
She had blown the whistle on how the council, police and social services had failed to deal with the abuse of at least 1,400 children.
The ombudsman found the council delayed investigating the issues, was slow to provide evidence of the complaints and didn't keep the charity regularly informed of progress.
Rotherham Council has now been told it should apologise to both Jayne Senior and the Swinton Lock charitable organisation.
