Sara Rowbotham, Rochdale CSE SH worker.

[FannyWisdom]

Tonight's program is 90 minutes.

BBC 1 20.30

Anyone planning on watching? I'm interested to hear how the problem can be prevented.

Im watching

me too

Me too, utterly depressing

I do hope amongst other things that Sara Rowbottom gets the recognition she deserves.

I watched the drama which was a re-enactment of this a few weeks ago and think they said in real life that she was moved department after this whole thing and they eventually let her go...

Shameful.

The CIT was disbanded a few years ago. Shameful really but that's Rochdale Borough Council for you.

I do wonder when rotherham will get the same kind of attention. Shameful how these girls were treated amd yes in total agreement with the asian men , imams etc kept shamefully silent about something they knew was going on...i dont agred with pointing fingers at joe average but community leaders on both sides were appalling.

Nearly everyone let those girls down, it's just disgusting.

Whats with that man saying the P word ? I can totally understand the anger

He's recounting what one of the girls said.

Oh right thankyou ..

That clip of Rowbottom was heartbreaking.

This is only Rochdale.

More is coming.
How many haven't even been recorded?

Yeah im wondering/hoping when rotherham will get an all indepth look. I hope it isnt left to rot at the wayside.

The MP for Keighly looked horrified to learn it wasn't just in her area. I dread to think how big a problem this actually is. What those men did was despicable. How couldn't they see what they were doing was wrong?

"The CIT was disbanded a few years ago. Shameful really but that's Rochdale Borough Council for you."

That was NHS actually. Not defending councils actions on this case obviously.

The serious case review makes interesting reading though. The CIT team come off with the most credit but are certainly not blameless on the whole event of services not responding properly (as has been presented in the media recently). For example the CIT team talked about making about 200 referrals but in fact did not follow procedure at all and in fact only made 3 proper referrals, and often didn't make referrals after the most significant events.

However...that was clearly used as an excuse to not listen or respond to the information they were putting across.

Thought the programme was very very poor, and presented nothing new, compared to the 3 Girls programme, aired in May 17.

newday agree nhs apols.

It's a while ago I read them but Early Break got some credit for their response? There was no mention in the program of the number of SCR's that took place and the learning that came out of them.

Rochdale is a different place since then and the Sunrise team are exceptional in the preventative and support work they do with victims, potential victims and raising awareness of CSE.
