Paedophile Jimmy Savile is believed to have abused children at a Jewish care home, it has been revealed.
The Sarah Laski Home, in Crumpsall, Manchester, opened under the auspices of the city’s Jewish Board of Guardians in 1953.
It was today named by the government alongside 20 other homes now being investigated for links to Savile.
The home – which later became known as the Manchester Jewish School for Disabled Children – closed in 1974 due to lack of funding and a feeling that it was unable to provide “a family atmosphere”.
Education Secretary Michael Gove told Parliament that information about Savile dating back to the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s had been uncovered by police.
