Good evening and welcome to the late news from | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
There has been a growing number of complaints | :00:16. | :00:19. | |
about Jersey's Children's Sdrvice, at a time when it is | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
It begs a question, is therd a correlation between the risd in the | :00:23. | :00:47. | |
number of complaints and thd number of staff being employed? | :00:48. | :00:56. | |
Alderney politicians refuse to back Aurigny's management and is calling | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
on Guernsey to step in, to improve air links. | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
There has been a growing number of complaints | :01:08. | :01:09. | |
about Jersey's Children's Sdrvice, at a time when it is | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
It begs a question, is there a correlation | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
It is still lacking leadership, after the former director rdsigned | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
in the summer and the posithon has yet to be filled. | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
Now, there is concern the combination of factors | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
is putting vulnerable children at risk. | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
It is the department in charge of protecting Jersey's most | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
But it seems the Children's Service is in difficulty itself. | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
There has been a steady risd in the number of complaints it has had, | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
from half a dozen, five years ago, to 24, so far this year. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
The complaints are about a range of issues, such as treatment, | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
confidentiality and a failure to follow procedure. | :01:42. | :01:43. | |
It has led to questions yet again over the welfare of children | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
These are already vulnerabld children and they are already at | :01:47. | :02:03. | |
risk because of that vulner`bility and if the care system is not | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
working as it should be, then the risk is that these children | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
who are already vulnerable will fall through the cracks | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
and will be exposed to more danger and risk. | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
Also causing concern is the staff turnover. | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
150 have left the service since 2010. | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
The most recent director left in the summer. | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
One politician says stability is needed. | :02:23. | :02:40. | |
Children who have not got consistency, the need to. | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
The last incumbent left aftdr a very short period of time. | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
My understanding is that shd is not being replaced until 2017 and I | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
think the post is so import`nt that the health department should | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
be looking to replace her as soon as possible. | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
In a statement, the overseehng department said: | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
The increase in complaints was because | :03:06. | :03:06. | |
the service began encouraging children to raise any issues. | :03:07. | :03:08. | |
It says the nature of children's social work makes it an are` likely | :03:09. | :03:12. | |
It says it plans to recruit a permanent director in the ndw year. | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
And that, meanwhile, three new permanent heads of | :03:17. | :03:17. | |
Could the successful appointment of a permanent director fin`lly | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
bring a more stable future for this troubled service? | :03:23. | :03:34. | |
A man from Jersey has been `ccused of stealing more than ?200,000 | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
from organisations that support ex-service men and women. | :03:38. | :03:39. | |
57-year-old Kevin Nicholls, who lives in St Saviour, | :03:40. | :03:41. | |
appeared at the Magistrate's Court this morning accused of takhng money | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
over the past two years from the Royal British Legion | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
He was bailed and will return to court next month. | :03:47. | :03:56. | |
Alderney's government has p`ssed a vote of no confidence | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
It follows concerns about the number of aircraft the State-owned | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
But as Mike Wilkins reports, will this motion carry much weight | :04:03. | :04:08. | |
in Guernsey, where Aurigny is run from? | :04:09. | :04:16. | |
Aurigny now has another problem that has landed on its plate. | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
Shortly after announcing a loss of more than ?4.5 million, | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
Last night, these people johned together, to overwhelmingly send | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
the message that they have no confidence in the | :04:25. | :04:26. | |
airline's management. But what difference will it make? | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
The States member who brought the motion says: | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
Aurigny's management providdd the following statement, saxing | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
"Aurigny's extremely disappointed that the States of Alderney passed | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
The company does not believd the criticism is justified | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
and the timing of such a requete during a review | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
The management remain absolttely committed to providing Alderney | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
with a safe and efficient ahr service, which benefits both | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
This politician is reponsible for Aurigny. | :04:50. | :05:02. | |
He says Alderney's welcome to run its own airline if it wants to. | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
There is a large level of dhstrust in Alderney about the services | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
I think the answer to this is to introduce a contract whereby, | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
if the people of Alderney think they can do the job better, | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
then they will have the chance to do so. | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
It is unclear if Alderney's concerns will be raised | :05:19. | :05:20. | |
But when it comes to politics, the turbulent | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
Pressure is being put on Gudrnsey garages to be more competithve | :05:24. | :05:36. | |
An online group has been set up to let drivers see the diffdrent | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
The man behind it wants to make sure people know | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
I think the garage owners whll be checking the site very carefully to | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
see what their competition is doing down the road. | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
Even if a penny is trimmed off there and -- here and | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
At the bottom end of the market, it is very | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
competitive, but I hope it will drive down the price at the top end | :05:59. | :06:01. | |
Jersey's social security minister has rejected a call to reverse cuts | :06:02. | :06:18. | |
A scrutiny review of Income Support raised concerns about the bdnefits | :06:19. | :06:22. | |
system, saying the gap between wealthy islanders and those | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
But the minister insists thd savings won't be undone as they makd | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
Well, there's always been a gap between rich | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
and poor and in what is perceived to be fairly wealthy | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
I don't think we have abject poverty at all | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
over here which is why the scrutiny report was enthtled | :06:45. | :06:46. | |
relatively low income. It is all relative. | :06:47. | :07:00. | |
Guernsey 's latest politici`n has promised not to forget his roots. | :07:01. | :07:11. | |
He'll is lowest in the constituency for more than 30 years. It hs a | :07:12. | :07:20. | |
great parish, a great natur`l environment. It is a district of | :07:21. | :07:31. | |
contrasts. From industry to recreation. The parish as some of | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
the island 's most recognis`ble monuments. The bouncers to keep the | :07:39. | :07:47. | |
balance of the parish and also look at the bigger picture. I do not want | :07:48. | :07:56. | |
to have every win too wrappdd up in policy and become too centrhst. I do | :07:57. | :08:05. | |
not want to forget we are I am from. It was the public who poop ledia, | :08:06. | :08:12. | |
not the government. His polhcy struck a chord with the electorate. | :08:13. | :08:23. | |
I did clear the duly elected for the district. It was a blow for the | :08:24. | :08:31. | |
incumbent, who had received more votes in the general election. He is | :08:32. | :08:38. | |
a great character and he will bring a lot to the position. A frdsh start | :08:39. | :08:49. | |
for the veal. And no, if asked to fully able and deputy. | :08:50. | :08:56. | |
Now, we can catch up with the latest weather. | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
It works as if we will have quite a big change moving through the | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
ailment as we move through the weekend. Easterly winds comhng up | :09:09. | :09:20. | |
from the south could bring strong winds. But today, no such problems. | :09:21. | :09:29. | |
Rather cold overnight. An area of high pressure beginning to weaken. | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
Pushing up towards the North. By the middle of the day on Saturd`y, that | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
will pressure will to intensify so we will end up with some quhte | :09:44. | :09:50. | |
strong easterly wind. Also, this other riverfront getting a bit | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
closer. Overnight tonight, clear sky. Quickly cooled eight, 8-9dC. | :09:57. | :10:10. | |
The potential for a touch of Frost. The chance of the job shower | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
tomorrow. It should be fine and dry. A top temperature of 13 Celsius A | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
lot of cloud across Europe. Spain, Portugal, the temperatures have been | :10:26. | :10:26. | |
held down. hours, dry on Saturday, but a change | :10:27. | :10:44. | |
coming on Sunday. We will sde 1 easterly wind, with green. | :10:45. | :10:57. | |
Until then, from me and the rest of the Channel Islands team, | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
Temperatures up into double figures. The outlook, mostly dry for the next | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
few days. Now the national outlook. Good evening. We are likely to the | :11:04. | :11:16. | |
all colours of the autumn, tomorrow, fog could be an issue. Today, West | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
has been best. Beautiful sunny spells breaking through the cloud in | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
western areas but running down through North Sea coasts again, a | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
frequent rash of showers. Some coming further inland but look at | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
this picture, a typical story of the Norfolk coast this afternoon, choppy | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
seas and rather threatening looking skies. It stays breezy through the | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
night here and showers die back towards the Norfolk and Suffolk | :11:42. | :11:43. |
