    A review is to be held into historical child sexual exploitation (CSE) in Bradford.

    The chair of the Bradford's Safeguarding Children Board has said she will commission an independent person to conduct the review.

    Jane Booth, in a document seen by the BBC, said the inquiry would examine how agencies in Bradford had responded to CSE in the past.

    In a case earlier this year, nine men were jailed for raping and abusing two teenage girls living in a children's home in Bradford from 2008.

    One of the victims in the case, Fiona Goddard, who waived her right to life-long anonymity, demanded a public inquiry.
