Police knew several young people were being sexually abused but did not share key information, a report has found.
It added the Gloucestershire Safeguarding Children Partnership (GSCP) must overhaul the way it protects vulnerable teenagers following three serious cases of exploitation.
The GSCP said it will implement all the report s recommendations.
The report, commissioned by the GSCP and led by independent consultant Mark Power, said victims felt let down by the system after help earlier in their lives was ineffective.
It added they had a mistrust and dislike of the police and did not feel listened to .
