We'll find out more about how Rotherham Council acted during the town's child abuse scandal later.

Six reports looking into criticisms of the authority will be published at a public meeting this afternoon.

They were comissioned after the Jay Report revelaled more than 1400 kids were abused in the town between 1997 and 2013.

The council was heavily criticised in its handling of the abuse - and was completely taken over by government comissioners at the time.

The reports have looked at things like the conduct of senior members of staff, how the council licensed taxis and claims files and records were removed or changed.
