Rotherham RAPE scandal key staff got even promoted Thacker Dr Sharp Fitzgerald Wilson Kimber

HOW PAID-OFF OFFICIALS WALKED INTO NEW JOBS

Joyce Thacker: Mrs Thacker earned £115,000 a year as strategic director of children and young people’s services at Rotherham.

She was deputy director from 2006, taking over the top post in 2008 and holding it until last year. In that time hundreds of children are now known to have been targeted by Pakistani grooming gangs. But the scandals on her watch did not prevent her from being handed a £40,000 pay-off when she resigned last year.

Dr Sonia Sharp: Dr Sharp was Mrs Thacker’s immediate predecessor as strategic director of children and young people’s services from 2005 to 2008, when shocking sexual abuse was rampant and the ethnic dimension of the abuse covered up.

Since leaving, she has advised officials in Malaysia responsible for child protection on ‘best practice’. She now works in Australia in education.

Ged Fitzgerald: He was the chief executive from 2001 to 2003 and was accused of allowing one report warning of child sex grooming to be suppressed and another ignored. The 53-year-old is now the £199,500 a year chief executive of Liverpool City Council.

Jackie Wilson: She was a senior manager with responsibility for safeguarding children in Rotherham during the years when widespread sex grooming crimes were going unpunished. But today as the £90,000-a-year assistant director for children and families at the council in nearby Donaster, Mrs Wilson is again entrusted with the safety of young people.

Martin Kimber: The £160,000-a-year chief executive from 2009 to 2014 refused to sack a single senior officer at Rotherham, despite damning evidence of failure and incompetence. Last September he was handed a £26,000 pay-off to go two months early.
