Senior officers of Rochdale Council turned a blind eye to child sex abuse

The report revealed that the former chief executive, Roger Ellis, “did not appear to be interested in children’s social care issues” and that there was no evidence that Ellis had any intention of investigating the events that led to high profile child sexual abuse cases coming to court.
