The Government will return all powers to a South Yorkshire council from next
week following a three-year intervention.
Communities Secretary James Brokenshire MP, inset, made the announcement
about Rotherham Council tonight (Tuesday).
The intervention, jointly undertaken by the Ministry and the Department for
Education, began in February 2015 following critical reports by Baroness
Alexis Jay and Dame Louise Casey which uncovered significant failings at the
council which contributed to child sexual exploitation in Rotherham.
Mr Brokenshire said: “Vulnerable young people who should have been protected
were repeatedly failed by Rotherham Council, which is why the government
stepped in to ensure these errors can never occur again. “I am pleased that
strong progress has now been made at the council with the support of the
Commissioners. “The return of all powers to Rotherham Council is not a
decision that I take lightly, but I am satisfied that the council has learnt
the lessons of the past and is now able to provide the services its
residents deserve and expect.” He will return control of all services on
Monday, including children’s social care, and withdraw all three
Commissioners.
This is on condition the council commissions an independent progress review
of delivery of services to be completed by February 18 next year and before
the directions expire on March 31, 2019.
