Rotherham: Anger as child sex abuse victims’ extra funding withdrawn

By BBC Yorkshire 

A decision to withdraw funding to support victims of child sexual exploitation (CSE) in Rotherham has been criticized by the town’s MP.

Sarah Champion said a ÂŁ500,000 government grant paid to the council to help cover social care costs related to Operation Stovewood would end.

The investigation has more than 1,038 identified abuse victims.

The government said keeping vulnerable children and young people safe and protected from harm “is a priority”.
