The council boss whose staff failed scores of girls abused by a sex grooming gang is in line for a payoff worth nearly £600,000.

The bumper redundancy package for Joanna Simons has been drawn up on the eve of a scathing report into the paedophile scandal.

Officials insist the 55-year-old chief executive is leaving Oxfordshire County Council for cost-cutting reasons. But there is anger from victims that the deal will allow Miss Simons to dodge any blame.

Catastrophic failings by the police and social workers meant the abuse carried on for years. In a further development, the chief constable whose force will be lambasted in the same report has been promoted to a new £185,000 a year job.

Sara Thornton will step down next month as head of Thames Valley Police – after eight years in charge – to lead the new National Police Chiefs Council.
