Alan Rhodes will make “an unreserved apology” to survivors of child abuse if Nottinghamshire County Council is found to have failed in its duty of care.
The leader of the county council was speaking ahead of tomorrow’s announcement by Lowell Goddard, chair of the independent inquiry into child sexual abuse, about which investigations will form the first part of the inquiry’s major work.
Nottinghamshire County Council will find out then if it will be examined by the inquiry.
Currently, two investigations – Operation Daybreak and Operation Xeres – are being run by Nottinghamshire Police. Xeres concerns allegations in north Nottinghamshire, including at South Collingham Hall and Caudwell House in Southwell. All of the centres have either closed or changed use since the alleged abuse, and none of the allegations relate to their current use.
