:00:00. > :00:16.Good evening. A lack of regulation interview
:00:17. > :00:19.Good evening. A lack of regulation is putting vulnerable people in
:00:20. > :00:22.Jersey, cared for in their own homes, at risk. Not all services
:00:23. > :00:25.that support elderly, disabled or mentally ill people come under
:00:26. > :00:27.current care laws ` and that includes States`run homes and care
:00:28. > :00:32.agencies. Emma Chambers reports on plans to bring the island's laws up
:00:33. > :00:36.to date. They are trusted to provide a high
:00:37. > :00:40.standard of care for those that need it, but who is making sure they are?
:00:41. > :00:44.Under the current law only private care homes are independently
:00:45. > :00:47.regulated. Those that are run by the Government, like this one, are not
:00:48. > :00:50.regulated. That's because Jersey's legislation hasn't been updated for
:00:51. > :00:52.almost 20 years. It excludes States`run facilities from legal
:00:53. > :00:55.inspections but, more worryingly, care agencies who provide services
:00:56. > :01:08.within the privacy of patients' own homes are completely unregulated and
:01:09. > :01:14.there have been complaints. For example, people not turning up,
:01:15. > :01:20.people not being properly recruited and properly vetted. To ensure that
:01:21. > :01:29.they have got their proper qualifications and experience to do
:01:30. > :01:32.the job. Anne hired a care agency to look after her mother. She chose
:01:33. > :01:35.Beth and Karen to provide a nursing service which is regulated. I could
:01:36. > :01:38.see that they met the standards, I could see that there were people
:01:39. > :01:44.within the provision with medical backgrounds, which I think, from my
:01:45. > :01:47.point of view, is crucial. Nearly 30 care agencies in Jersey are not
:01:48. > :01:58.inspected ,and that's causing concern for health officials. From
:01:59. > :02:02.time to time we receive complaints about care provision and if we have
:02:03. > :02:06.got the legal framework then we can obviously go and inspect and
:02:07. > :02:08.intervene. If there is no legal framework there is absolutely
:02:09. > :02:12.nothing we can do anything people find that very difficult to
:02:13. > :02:16.understand. But that may not be the situation for much longer, as a new
:02:17. > :02:20.law has been drafted. If approved by the States, all care services in
:02:21. > :02:24.Jersey will be regulated in the next couple of years.
:02:25. > :02:27.Well, earlier the Islands Health Minister joined us. She told BBC
:02:28. > :02:37.Channel Islands about the timescales involved in getting the law in
:02:38. > :02:45.action. The regulation of the law is hopefully going to be lodged and
:02:46. > :02:48.discussed at the beginning of July. It is the overarching law and once
:02:49. > :02:55.it has come back from Privy Council, we will be going on the regulations.
:02:56. > :02:59.So the first thing that will be regulated as caring people's homes
:03:00. > :03:03.because we feel that they are vulnerable and we need to nature
:03:04. > :03:07.that the cure that is provided by private agencies and whatever does
:03:08. > :03:10.come up to the current standard. And you can hear more on that, including
:03:11. > :03:15.the response from those working in the care industry, with Matthew
:03:16. > :03:18.Price on BBC Radio Jersey from 6am. A legal agreement to move the
:03:19. > :03:21.Anglican Deaneries of Guernsey and Jersey from the oversight of the
:03:22. > :03:24.Bishop of Winchester to Dover has been signed. A Commission will now
:03:25. > :03:28.be appointed examining the long and complex relationship the Church of
:03:29. > :03:30.England has with the Islands. The agreement comes into effect after a
:03:31. > :03:34.breakdown in relations between Jersey's Dean Bob Key and the Bishop
:03:35. > :03:39.of Winchester Tim Dakin over the handling of a safeguarding
:03:40. > :03:41.complaint. Two fishermen have been rescued
:03:42. > :03:44.after their boat sunk off Jersey's southwest coast. A lifeboat was
:03:45. > :03:48.called when people spotted their distress flares. The crew found the
:03:49. > :03:53.men two and a half miles off the coast of Noirmont. Authorities will
:03:54. > :03:57.look into why the boat sank. Guernsey States need to act now if
:03:58. > :04:00.Island`wide voting is to be introduced by the next election.
:04:01. > :04:02.Deputy Mike Hadley is trying to convince deputies to move away from
:04:03. > :04:06.the current District system. It's been suggested the States should
:04:07. > :04:09.hold off until after a review of the Government is complete. But Deputy
:04:10. > :04:16.Hadley thinks that leaves it too late to be in place by 2016.
:04:17. > :04:19.The problem is that everybody has got the radio what they should do,
:04:20. > :04:26.so I think that you have got to keep it simple. And what we have got to
:04:27. > :04:32.say is that we're going to elect 45 deputies, we're going to have up to
:04:33. > :04:34.45 votes. Once you have hybrid systems then they are doomed to
:04:35. > :04:38.fail. New EU rules could soon heap extra
:04:39. > :04:40.work on companies in the Channel Islands. The European Union is
:04:41. > :04:43.updating its data`protection laws against a backdrop of political
:04:44. > :04:46.concern about recent revelations of spying activities by the United
:04:47. > :04:50.States of America. And, as Mike Wilkins reports, while Guernsey and
:04:51. > :04:56.Jersey are not part of the EU, they may have to fall in line.
:04:57. > :05:00.Your data, his data, my data. The chances are, most of us have some of
:05:01. > :05:07.our data stored online somewhere in the world. Protecting that data is
:05:08. > :05:09.becoming increasingly important. It follows the recent revelations about
:05:10. > :05:14.American intelligence services snooping on millions of innocent
:05:15. > :05:17.phone calls and e`mails. Europe is now reviewing the data`protection
:05:18. > :05:22.law that applies to all member states, and the Channel Islands need
:05:23. > :05:25.to keep up. For the first time, companies doing business with EU
:05:26. > :05:34.citizens will be required to comply with the laws even if they're not
:05:35. > :05:37.located in the EU themselves. In terms of the things that
:05:38. > :05:43.organisations need to think about, the way that they handle
:05:44. > :05:46.information. If they are outsourcing, there has been a lot of
:05:47. > :05:51.nervousness after the Edward Snowden affair, organisations need to start
:05:52. > :05:54.thinking carefully about how they are handling clients's data in
:05:55. > :05:58.preparation for big changes in the next year or two. It will affect
:05:59. > :06:00.almost every company in the Islands, particularly those companies
:06:01. > :06:03.involved with data hosting, cloud computing, and any that have EU
:06:04. > :06:06.citizens as clients. The legislation is still in draft form, but while
:06:07. > :06:10.some see it as more compliance others see it as an opportunity for
:06:11. > :06:18.the Channel Islands to show that any data stored here will remain safe,
:06:19. > :06:22.far from prying eyes. Well, that's all from the late team
:06:23. > :06:25.here at BBC Channel Islands News. Clare Burton will be back with your
:06:26. > :06:28.next full television bulletin tomorrow evening here on BBC One. In
:06:29. > :06:30.the meantime, I'll leave you with David for a look at tomorrow's
:06:31. > :06:38.weather. Good evening. Northerly or
:06:39. > :06:44.north`easterly winds will dominate the weather over the next few days.
:06:45. > :06:47.Enough moisture coming off the sea will generate showers and
:06:48. > :06:51.temperatures will not be high. A few showers late in the day and also
:06:52. > :07:01.temperatures struggling up to about 10 degrees, not a very worn day
:07:02. > :07:05.either. Bash match warm day. Temperatures starting the day around
:07:06. > :07:09.six or seven Celsius. For tomorrow, some sunny spells for the first half
:07:10. > :07:14.of the day. There is more clout through the afternoon and into the
:07:15. > :07:19.early evening. A brisk, northerly breeze to start the day. The winds
:07:20. > :07:23.drop goal and we will see temperatures up to 15 degrees. There
:07:24. > :07:27.will be some showers around on both Thursday and Friday but slightly
:07:28. > :07:29.warm air at the start of the weekend. Good night and here's the
:07:30. > :07:35.summary. might be wintry. Feeling chilly at
:07:36. > :07:40.10 degrees. The outlook, it stays chilly and temperatures look like
:07:41. > :07:44.they will pick up towards the eight -- weekend.
:07:45. > :07:47.In early spring, a bit of sunshine makes the difference. Today we had
:07:48. > :07:51.some sunshine in the far east of the UK and in the far west. In Northern
:07:52. > :07:58.Ireland and East Anglia, temperatures climbed into the teens.
:07:59. > :08:03.But for most of us, it was gloomy and temperatures were at sixes and
:08:04. > :08:06.sevens. Single figure temperatures will feature heavily over the next
:08:07. > :08:10.few days. We are already seeing the weather coming in from the east
:08:11. > :08:17.pushing the weather to the West so we will see showers continuing in
:08:18. > :08:22.the night. Isolated showers. Most towns and cities just about avoiding
:08:23. > :08:26.a frost but in rural areas we will seek pockets of frost and fog
:08:27. > :08:31.patches for the morning. Some showers across the West but it will
:08:32. > :08:35.brighten up in the West, however in the East the cloud thickens, the
:08:36. > :08:37.winds pick up and out rakes of rain coming from the North Sea. It will
:08:38. > :08:39.be a different day across East Anglia. Feeling
