Vulnerable children under the care of Edinburgh City Council were subject to "serious failings" which compromised their "wellbeing and safety" over a 10-year period, an investigation has found.
The local authority's monitoring officer ruled there has been "illegality, maladministration and injustice" within Edinburgh Secure Services (ESS), which provides care and accommodation for young people aged 10 to 17.
A report outlining "serious and sustained failings" has been shown to councillors. It has not been released to the public due to the "sensitive nature of the content".
