This week Channel 4 News revealed new allegations about the Rotherham child abuse scandal.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct, the IOPC, investigated how police handled grooming gangs in the town.
1,400 children were attacked or groomed by men, mainly of Pakistani heritage, over decades.
Investigators who worked for the IOPC spoke exclusively to us, saying its work was seriously flawed and one said he was discouraged from probing the conduct of senior officers.
Now, the Mayor of South Yorkshire, Oliver Coppard, has written to the IOPC asking to see its unpublished report into the activities of senior officers.
We spoke to him a short time ago, and began by asking whether he thinks the IOPC really is independent, or whether it’s marking its own homework?
