Rotherham Petition – 20 signatures needed We the undersigned call on Sharon Kemp (Chief Executive RMBC) to write a letter to Jean Imray asking her to answer the questions that adult survivors of CSE in Rotherham want answers to, namely: Q1 Were you part of the DLT (Directorate Leadership Team) when the DLT agreed to seek some independent, expert guidance on the content of Voices of Despair Voices of Hope? Q2 Who first made you aware of the concerns raised in the Freedom of Information (FOI) request dated 16.9.15 and on what date? Q3 Were you the author of the FOI response dated 7.12.15 and the statement “Two copies of the document were sent with an explanation about why an independent view was being sought”? Q4 Did you initially provide all of the information that you held including notes and emails when responding to the FOI request dated 16.9.15? Q5 Did you discuss the document Voices of Despair Voices of Hope and RMBC’s 1500 copies - A Response to FOI Response (7.12.15) - 15.12.15 with Linda Harper, Acting Director of Children’s Services, before Linda met one of the co-authors of Voices of Despair Voices of Hope on 30.12.15? Q6 What is the name and position of the so-called “independent, expert” you contacted? What date did you first contact this person?
