Rotherham review

The chair of the Safer Rotherham Partnership should provide a copy of this report together with a briefing to the Rotherham Health and Well-being Board.

The Safer Rotherham Partnership should include a written response to the report with an action plan that includes the issues highlighted at the webinar.

Information in the community about essential local services should be freely available in the main spoken languages in the borough and downloadable from social media and information websites hosted by local statutory services. The selective licensing scheme under the Housing Act 2004 Housing Health and Safety Rating System should be used to send the information to households covered by the scheme.

The Safer Rotherham Partnership should ensure that the local strategy for support to victims of domestic abuse includes specific measures for victims who do not speak English.

The Yorkshire Ambulance Service should provide a written response to the potential learning identified in the DHR. This includes the recording of contact with patients and the capacity of responders recognising, following up and making referrals about domestic abuse.
