Children are being put at risk because ministers are failing to protect whistleblowers, says damning report
- Rotherham Council’s failure to listen contributed to organised abuse
- Ignoring whistleblowers played a part in corruption in Tower Hamlets
- It could get worse as whistleblowers not fully protected by legislation
- MPs say lessons must be learned from Tower Hamlets and Rotherham
Children are being put at risk because ministers are still not doing enough to protect all whistleblowers if they raise concerns, a damning MPs’ report has found.
It said Rotherham Council’s failure to listen to those who spoke out about the child abuse scandal there had contributed to the organised abuse many suffered.
Failure to take whistleblowers seriously also played a part in the electoral fraud and corruption seen in Tower Hamlets, east London, the report by the Commons local government committee said.

Rotherham Politics 
On this side of the road a whistleblower reporting abusers and the corrupt is rounded upon by both the local authority and SYP, especially when each are a part of the problem, effectively participating in the abuse by their actions or lack thereof, and for which brand reputation has primacy over protecting the abused, reinforcing the established institutionalised corruption.
