Following news of a police investigation into child sexual exploitation in Torbay, the council has earmarked almost £0.25m for its response, according to reports.
According to the Herald Express, Torbay Council's director of children's services, Dr Carol Tozer, told a press conference last month that there was "no upper limit to what the council are doing" regarding the investigation. This includes drafting in extra social workers to help support identified victims and their families.
Tozer reportedly said there was "huge support within the council", for the multi-agency investigation and added: "Resources do not matter with regards to providing the support that is required to ensure that this investigation is a success."
Torbay council initially set aside £120,000 for its response to the investigation, but has now agreed to earmark a further £120,000.
