A man who was sexually abused at Beechwood Community Home in Mapperley during the 2000s has told the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) his allegations were totally ignored.
He said he reported an attempted sexual assault by a fellow inmate, but it "was like talking to a brick wall".
"It's like I never told them," he said.
The victim said he declined to report it to police at the time because he was told he would be moved.
The public hearing, at Trent Bridge, is examining the extent to which public bodies were at fault for child abuse in Nottinghamshire's care system over several decades.
More victims are due to give evidence today.

Frank Lampard praised his players for fighting back after a late Craig Bryson equaliser gave Derby County a share of the spoils last night against Norwich City.
The midfielder bundled in Martyn Waghorn's left wing cross with his knee four minutes from time at Pride Park, cancelling out Timm Klose's opener for the Canaries.
The Derby manager said: "I'm delighted with the character and I think the fans go home relatively happy when they see the team fight until the end like they did."

An incident in which two horses were mixed up at the start of a race is to be investigated by the British Horseracing Authority.
The gelding Operative became unsettled in the starting stalls and was withdrawn from the race at Nottingham.
However, it was Magic Pulse's name that was announced on the course.
The incorrect information was also communicated to TV screens, online punters and to betting shops.
It meant that Magic Pulse, who was not even in the stalls when the incident with Operative happened, was also not allowed to run in the Jockey Club Grassroots Sprint Distance Series Final, run over six furlongs.
An official report has been forwarded by the stewards to the BHA.
