Vulnerable children in Devon given more help

New measures to help children at risk of sexual exploitation are to be introduced in Devon - after a series of recommendations were made in a hard-hitting report.

The leader of the council has been asked for extra money to improve prevention.

They'll include the setting up of a database on cases of child abuse, so they can target resources better.

There'll also be spot-checks on children's homes,  and extra training for officers who come into contact with young people.
