Rochdale Council Chief Executive Jim Taylor has apologised to the victims of child sexual abuse after an independent report said the Council, during the tenure of former Chief Executive Roger Ellis, let down the victims.
Mr Taylor said the review painted a poor image of how parts of the council was run but said it had improved its procedures.
The 136-page report by independent consultants made 16 recommendations and said the council should have done more to deal with the issue of grooming sooner.
