Rejected petition Hold a public enquiry into the sexual abuse of children in Rotherham.

There is an ongoing issue of lack of public disclosure of child abuse by the authorities in Rotherham, social services, police and council.
A full judge led public enquiry will give us the opportunity to examine
not only what went wrong but also learn lessons for the future.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. There is already an established inquiry into child sexual abuse in England and Wales, which is able to cover this issue. You can find out more here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
