Rotherham abuse: South Yorkshire Police child protection 'needs improvement'
The police force at the centre of the Rotherham abuse scandal still needs to make "major improvements" to some child protection procedures, a report has found.
Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) criticised South Yorkshire Police last September.
A post-inspection review, conducted in April this year, found "significant concerns" remained.
There have, however, been "tangible signs" of progress since, HMIC said.
The watchdog published its original findings weeks after a report found 1,400 children had been sexually exploited in Rotherham.
April's review aired concerns over the force's failure to recognise risks to children, and found recording practices remained poor, limiting the ability of staff to make "good decisions".
