:01:11. > :01:14.Since 1998, there've been ten police investigations into child sexual
:01:15. > :01:15.exploitation in Buckinghamshire involving up to 100 children.
:01:16. > :01:17.Past problems included a lack of multi-agency co-ordination
:01:18. > :01:26.and children being blamed for putting themselves at risk.
:01:27. > :01:29.We felt that there was a point then where we could start looking
:01:30. > :01:33.honestly at some of the things that had happened over the previous

:05:24. > :05:26.We didn't get a detailed account of what those injuries were,
:05:27. > :05:30.but in other areas of the country ?35,000 was paid out after a number

:07:01. > :07:02.Michael says "This blame culture is stopping children
:07:03. > :07:06.Shaun posted "All this does is take money out of school funds and then

:11:53. > :11:56.these are quite racy at the time, and in the '20s, '30s and '40s
:11:57. > :11:58.there was quite a lot of liberation of women's rights,
