The child exploitation scandal in which 1,400 youngsters were abused over 16 years is not "peculiar" to Rotherham, according to a leading children's charity.
A damning report on abuse in the South Yorkshire town between 1997 and 2013 detailed examples of 11-year-olds being gang raped and children being forced to watch violent sex abuse.
Barnardo's was called into the town by police last year to help tackle the problem - but the charity has told Sky News it is also working with other councils to help them "learn lessons of the past".
Chief executive Javed Khan said: "Barnardo's is working very closely with that council and many other councils across the country. We're trying to help those professionals learn lessons from the past.
"This is happening all over the country - it isn't just peculiar to Rotherham. It's important that they learn the lessons from the past, work with agencies like ours that have experience.
"We work with more than 2,000 children who've been sexually exploited every year. We know how to spot the signs and put it right."
The report on abuse in Rotherham said authorities in the town "could and should" have done more to stop the abuse but did not listen to children trying to report it.
There have been calls for South Yorkshire's Police Commissioner to resign over the issue. Shaun Wright was elected in 2012 - but his previous role as a councillor put him in charge of children's services between 2005 and 2010
