Nottingham City Council has told the Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse (IICSA) its public apology to victims of historical abuse did not go far enough.
Two weeks ago the authority issued a statement, external saying it was "deeply sorry and offer our heartfelt sympathy to survivors who should never have had to suffer whilst in our care".
Speaking on day two of the three-week hearing at Trent Bridge, a representative for the authority said it was keen to learn lessons from what had happened but was sure children were much safer under its care today.
As well as the city council, the hearing is today due to hear from the county council, the police service, child sex abuse campaigners and former residents from the Beechwood Community Home in Mapperley - which police found to be "riddled with abuse" from the late 1960s to the late 1980s.

Derby South MP Margaret Beckett has said the Toyota car plant in Burnaston will be damaged by Brexit - whatever deal is done.
This follows managing director at the plant, Marvin Cooke, warning that it may be forced to stop production for months after Britain leaves the European Union.
Mrs Beckett said: "It might not be tomorrow, it might not be next year but in the longer term these companies will make decisions based on their long-term interests and their long-term interests may no longer be to be in the United Kingdom.
"I know that’s a message that people won’t want to hear and some won’t believe it until they get their P45s, but that’s where we are."

Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Service found that almost one in eight offences is missed off the books by the force - and for violent crime it was almost one in five.

The force said they have reviewed the crimes that were not recorded and say they are low-level offences.
The report also noted that the force has made progress since the previous inspection in May.

A human rights lawyer has accused Nottingham City Council of attempting to ban homelessness.
Lara ten Caten, who works for charity Liberty, claims a new policy could see public space protection orders used to fine people for things like like obstructing doorways, or even giving food to people.
She said: "What Nottingham council is trying to do is to ban homelessness. They are trying to ban people from obstructing any building. Why are they trying to forbid people from giving things to people?
"They have very, very broad conditions. For example, they define giving free matter as any material, substance, object or thing.
"What this means, is you can’t give food to someone."
Image source, PAA spokesman for Nottingham City Council said: "It seems Liberty have leapt to the conclusion that we intend to use this PSPO like some other councils to target the homeless - we can assure them that's not the case."
They say it will be used instead to tackle businesses and charities distributing nuisance leaflets and flyers.
The council previously came under fire for anti-begging posters which "demonised" the homeless and were banned by the Advertising Standards Authority.

Failing to follow up noise complaints dating back to 2014 has landed a local council with a £200 fine.
A couple living near a leisure centre complained repeatedly to Oadby and Wigston Borough Council about noise from the premises on Saturday nights.
The Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman looked into the council's environmental health team investigation into the complaints and ordered the authority to apologise and pay the couple £200.
The leisure centre is now monitoring noise and recording levels within permitted decibels.
A spokesperson for the council said: "The council has noted the contents of the Ombudsman report, has accepted the findings and implemented the actions recommended by the Ombudsman."
The fine will be discussed at a full council meeting this evening.

A protest is due to take place in Skegness today over the decision to close a holiday home for mine workers and their families.
The Derbyshire Miners' Convalescent Home was opened in 1928 to allow workers from across the East Midlands to recover from injury and illness.
More recently the building - just yards from the sea - has been used as a holiday retreat but the owners say rising maintenance costs and falling guest numbers have left them with no choice but to close it for good.
