For fourteen years, Jayne Senior tried to help girls from Rotherham who had been groomed, raped, tortured, pimped and threatened with violence by sex traffickers. As the manager of Risky Business, which was set up to work with vulnerable teens, she heard heartbreaking and shocking stories of abuse and assiduously kept notes and details of the perpetrators, passing information on to the authorities in the belief that they would do something. Eventually, when she lost hope that the authorities would take action against the gangs she had identified as the abusers, she became a whistleblower for The Times investigative reporter Andrew Norfolk. Now, in her powerful memoir, she describes a life spent working to protect Rotherham's girls, the pressure put on her to stop rocking the boat, and why she risked prison in the hope that she could help end the appalling child exploitation in the town.

The scale of the Rotherham child protection scandal has led professionals responsible for safeguarding children in other regions to recognise the extent of child abuse in their area and consider how to respond efficiently. Drawing on lessons learned from key case reviews and independent practice, this book tells the story of Rotherham and shows the consequences of failing to respond to concerns of child sexual exploitation. Using case examples demonstrating both poor and good practice, from Rotherham and elsewhere, the authors are able to present recommendations for improvements at strategic management and frontline practitioner levels.
The publication of this, the third volume in the Aspects of Rotherham series, marks an important development in the ever growing Aspects Series. From its beginnings in 1993 with Aspects of Barnsley 1, the series now has some twenty titles either in print or programmed for early publication. The present volume continues the tradition of bringing a wide variety of well researched material to the attention of the general reader.

Aspects of Rotherham 3 will appeal equally to the reader with a general interest in the town and the serious student of the history of Rotherham and its people.

Yet despite many attempts to define England’s national character, what might be called the nation's philosophy has remained largely unexamined until now.
