An “unreserved apology” has been promised if a local authority’s care system is found to have failed alleged victims of historical child abuse.

Police are investigating allegations of abuse at children’s homes and secure units in Nottinghamshire committed over a number of years.

Alan Rhodes, the county council leader, pledged to expose any wrongdoing and help bring perpetrators to justice.

Campaigners lobbied the authority to demand more support for those affected.
