there's a first look at the papers over on the BBC News | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
And now the news for the East Midlands, I'm Dominic Heale. Good | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
evening. Two of this region's police forces have failed victims of | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
domestic abuse ` according to a a scathing report by Her Majesty's | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
Inspectorate of Constabulary. Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire have | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
been criticised for a lack of knowledge among staff, a backlog of | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
cases and for providing an inconsistent service to victims. | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
Here's our Chief News reporter Quentin Rayner. | :00:37. | :00:46. | |
The Inspectorate says this should be a wake`up call to the police. On | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
average they receive an emergency related call every 30 seconds and 77 | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
women were killed last year by their partners or ex`partners. Across the | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
East Midlands it accounts for 10% of all recorded crime and almost 6500 | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
incidents of domestic abuse resulting in injuries were recorded | :01:06. | :01:11. | |
until August last year. Derbyshire is undersized for gaps in their | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
knowledge. Officers need to fully understand domestic abuse in crews | :01:16. | :01:30. | |
including psychological abuse. Yes, we need to improve. If the reported | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
and said everything was rosy within the Derbyshire Constabulary I would | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
have been surprised but ultimately we do need to improve. Part of the | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
Inspectorate's role is to say to us, you need to improve in these areas | :01:44. | :01:47. | |
and we will act on those recommendations and we will improve. | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
Nottinghamshire force is undersized for inconsistency. It found that | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
high`risk victims receive a better standard of service and protection | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
than those assessed as lower risk. Then there is no system in place to | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
review their level of risk once an offender is released from custody | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
the inspectors also found a lack of awareness about victims in the local | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
area and the force doesn't have an understanding of serial offenders in | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
Nottinghamshire. There isn't a difference in the level of | :02:22. | :02:25. | |
protection, there is a difference in the risk assessment and therefore | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
there is a difference in the way we have to deal with that. With the | :02:30. | :02:34. | |
serial perpetrators, that workers in its infancy. We will work with the | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
national lead in developing our process to understand better how | :02:40. | :02:42. | |
perpetrators behave and how we can manage them. Leicestershire is | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
praised for its information sharing and for being one of the few forces | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
which asks victims for feedback about its service. The Inspectorate | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
recognises considerable improvements but still found the service offered | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
to victims is too often unacceptable. It is insisting | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
domestic abuse must no longer be the poorer nation to other policing | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
activity. Cathy Saunders, you and your organisation have been working | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
with victims and survivors of domestic abuse for some years. How | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
surprised really by the findings of the report? Not surprised at all, we | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
fed directly into the HM RC review. What is the experience of the woman | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
you deal with? Most of them have had bad episodes with the police, | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
reporting crimes to them are many will never report to the police | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
again. That is pouring. It is also to do with the police's attitude to | :03:41. | :03:47. | |
women in this ocean? Generally, police now they seem to have a | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
better attitude towards victims and survivors of domestic abuse but | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
still, we get complaints about bad treatment and bad attitudes. There | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
has been improvement over the decades but nowhere near enough? To | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
say we're now in the 21st century, having dealt with domestic abuse for | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
40 years, working in partnership with many agencies, the answer is | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
no. There is vast room for improvement. Thank you. | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
Many of our councils have been accused of "siphoning off" public | :04:22. | :04:24. | |
health funding to prop up other town hall services. Doctors have warned | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
that campaigns on smoking, obesity and sexual health are threatened. | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
This report from our Political Editor John Hess. | :04:32. | :04:41. | |
The public health, but how healthy is the public? Do you do any | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
exercise in? Not really, I working all day, that should keep me fit. I | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
have a natural predisposition to put on weight so I'm careful with my | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
diet. Daily walks with her, that's about it. It's just over 12 months | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
since responsibility for public health transferred from the NHS to a | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
local authority, and for a City Council like Tottenham, those public | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
health contracts with ?27 million. It is now down to the local | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
authorities and politicians to decide on what the public health | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
priorities are locally. But Nottinghamshire GP says that some | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
councils are siphoning off the money. His fears about the Bible a | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
survey that reveals a third of the councils have done that. There isn't | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
enough money in the system to sustain the entire public health | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
budget for health services and the entire council budget for adequate | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
social services, and I think the system is balanced on a knife edge. | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
The politician now in charge of public health in Nottingham defends | :05:53. | :05:54. | |
the shift in spending priorities, and gives this example. Taking ?1 | :05:55. | :06:01. | |
million out of sexual health because we have negotiated well with the | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
University Hospital so there shouldn't be any service changes but | :06:05. | :06:07. | |
we should have better value for money and contracting, we can now | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
put that into an early intervention so that young people are making | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
better choices so that we might not have the same call on sexual health | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
services in a decade. New proteins other public health. How local | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
politicians and the health service went are struggling to agree. | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
That is your news, goodbye from me, but with your weather, here is Anna. | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
It has been a chilly evening with the cold easterly breeze we are | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
having, and we are expecting more rain in the next few hours. It may | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
feel a bit wintry over the Derbyshire Peak District before | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
clearing away. I'm dry into the night, it keeps hold of a lot of | :06:54. | :07:01. | |
cloud, maybe a bit of mist forming. A cloudy start to your Friday, we | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
keep the easterly winds throughout the day and some rain will start | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
pushing as we go through the morning. Temperatures, a little bit | :07:10. | :07:17. | |
of an improvement on today. But it's all change for the weekend. By the | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
time we get to Saturday, we take on a southeasterly wind, that brings in | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
warmer air so highs of 16 and hazy sunshine. | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
weather. Now the national forecast with Nick Miller. | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
Hello, as winter becomes spring, the atmosphere contains more energy. The | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
shower clouds grow taller. If conditions are right, you get | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
thunder storms. There have been some today. Bob took this picture near | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
London this afternoon. The spring flowers will appreciate the | :07:56. | :07:56. |
