More on the care worker who's been jailed tonight

:00:12.:00:14.

after abusing an elderly wolan at a nursing home near Bristol.

:00:15.:00:16.

It happened at the Granary hn Nailsea which charges ?800 pounds to

:00:17.:00:20.

Well, the man in charge of the care home in question is Jeremy Nixey.

:00:21.:00:26.

He's rejected professional `dvice to make no comment and decided to

:00:27.:00:29.

Do you agree that this was a shocking failure in care here

:00:30.:00:37.

No. I think this was shocking care, or absence of care

:00:38.:00:43.

What checks did you have in place to make sure residdnts here

:00:44.:00:50.

The surest check in any care home is the vighlance

:00:51.:00:56.

If you have a supportive care environment with

:00:57.:01:02.

a listening management, and strong leadership, then staff

:01:03.:01:06.

But then, why didn't staff spot this?

:01:07.:01:11.

It was actually spotted by the resident's son.

:01:12.:01:13.

They did in this occasion, because already we had been alerted

:01:14.:01:21.

by our own quality checks to concerns at this home.

:01:22.:01:24.

And we had started to put in additional supervision,

:01:25.:01:28.

and in due course, we deciddd to replace the management.

:01:29.:01:32.

Do you think if you improved conditions

:01:33.:01:35.

for staff, you would get people who wanted to do it more than some

:01:36.:01:39.

people who are drawn to it because it's the only job they can get?

:01:40.:01:42.

Certainly, that is not why people come in, because it's

:01:43.:01:44.

In most cases, but there ard some people who can't get any other work.

:01:45.:01:52.

Well, there may be, but usu`lly we find that they are identifidd

:01:53.:01:56.

by colleague staff who say, I don't think her heart is in this business.

:01:57.:02:00.

And they are managed out of the business.

:02:01.:02:04.

This case came to court bec`use of the evidence produced by a camera.

:02:05.:02:08.

Would you support the idea of having cameras in all rooms?

:02:09.:02:12.

Well, at the moment it is totally illegal.

:02:13.:02:16.

If, in this home, you had compulsory CCTV, somebody would have to watch

:02:17.:02:34.

the 24 hour output of 100 c`meras every day.

:02:35.:02:39.

The family of the abused wolan would like to see cameras in care homes.

:02:40.:02:43.

Our Health Correspondent Matthew Hill has been investigating

:02:44.:02:45.

When Jim Wright decided to hide a camera in his mother's room,

:02:46.:02:49.

Now he and his family think there should be cameras in every home

:02:50.:02:59.

If you're a relative, I would suggest doing the s`me thing

:03:00.:03:03.

And perhaps, the more peopld that do it, the more footage that comes to

:03:04.:03:08.

light, and one day, perhaps they'll put cameras in these homes.

:03:09.:03:13.

And they've support from others who contacted us.

:03:14.:03:16.

Terry Hending's widow Janet told us he was at the Granary just

:03:17.:03:22.

We don't know what goes on behind doors.

:03:23.:03:27.

We think there should be caleras in the room, definitely.

:03:28.:03:31.

And arguably, they did have an effect.

:03:32.:03:33.

When the filming happened, more alerts were sent to

:03:34.:03:36.

the local council and more were substantiated, or

:03:37.:03:38.

The regulator of the Granarx, the Care Quality Commission,

:03:39.:03:45.

is now consulting over the introduction of covert survdillance

:03:46.:03:48.

This may look like on obviots way of monitoring what's going on.

:03:49.:03:55.

But it raises questions about privacy.

:03:56.:03:58.

Do you really want Big Brother watching you all the time?

:03:59.:04:02.

This company is already planning to sell surveillance in care sdttings.

:04:03.:04:09.

It's consulted with the CQC and the Information Commisshoner to

:04:10.:04:14.

come to an agreement which it says is within the law

:04:15.:04:17.

It is the deployment of either covert or discrete CCTV camdras in

:04:18.:04:24.

communal areas within care settings, which run on a limited basis.

:04:25.:04:31.

So, not all the time, at certain times, as a quality assurance aid

:04:32.:04:35.

Seeing how members of staff deal with service tsers.

:04:36.:04:41.

But the main health union s`ys surveillance is not the answer.

:04:42.:04:45.

Well, I think the question hs, how does it improve care

:04:46.:04:49.

And also this raises other hssues of the capacity of people

:04:50.:04:54.

in elderly care homes to agree and consent to that,

:04:55.:04:57.

and also concerns with the privacy and concerns of staff and vhsitors.

:04:58.:05:02.

It is undoubtedly true that covert cameras have brought to

:05:03.:05:09.

light scandals like Winterbourne View that may have gone unsden.

:05:10.:05:13.

But for the people who work in this settings and even their pathents,

:05:14.:05:16.

a life under constant scruthny may prove too intrusive.

:05:17.:05:24.

Four more police officers are being investigated for their part

:05:25.:05:27.

in the treatment of an Iranhan man who was murdered in Bristol.

:05:28.:05:30.

Bijan Ebrahimi repeatedly contacted the Avon Somerset force

:05:31.:05:34.

complaining he was the victhm of anti`social behaviour.

:05:35.:05:37.

16 police officers are now being investigated by the Independent

:05:38.:05:41.

Lee James is serving 18 years in prison for murder

:05:42.:05:47.

and his friend Steven Norlex four years for assisting an offender

:05:48.:05:53.

The Bristol businessman acctsed of planning his wife's murddr

:05:54.:05:55.

while on honeymoon will stand trial in October.

:05:56.:05:58.

Shrien Dewani was extradited to South Africa in April, after

:05:59.:06:01.

He's being held at a secure hospital in Cape Town where he's being

:06:02.:06:07.

His trial's now been set for the 6th October.

:06:08.:06:12.

Mr Dewani denies any involvdment in his wife Anni's death.

:06:13.:06:15.

Just before I leave you, take a look at this.

:06:16.:06:19.

Thousands of people have already gathdred at

:06:20.:06:20.

And we're told it could be the clearest sunrise for nine ydars

:06:21.:06:26.

We'll have more pictures for you tomorrow.

:06:27.:06:27.

But for now let's get the weather with Jemma.

:06:28.:06:31.

It remains a very settled wdather story through Saturday and Sunday

:06:32.:06:34.

and into the beginning of ndxt week, with high`pressure still dolinating

:06:35.:06:38.

Dry and fine for most of us, with plenty of sunshine.

:06:39.:06:42.

We might find the odd sharp shower generated by the heat of thd day,

:06:43.:06:45.

but with high`pressure firmly anchored to the north`western corner

:06:46.:06:49.

of the UK, for most of us it's the sunshine that will win out.

:06:50.:06:53.

There will be a bit of fair weather cloud here `nd there

:06:54.:06:55.

Clear skies overnight might mean tomorrow morning it will be little

:06:56.:07:00.

chillier in some of our rur`l areas, but

:07:01.:07:02.

the clear skies persist through the bulk of tomorrow morning with some

:07:03.:07:05.

Temperatures responding verx well very quickly and by the aftdrnoon,

:07:06.:07:11.

certainly, once again, low 20s to be expected.

:07:12.:07:13.

A light northerly breeze to take the edge off the heat of the sunshine.

:07:14.:07:17.

Remaining settled tomorrow night, variable amounts of cloud and decent

:07:18.:07:20.

Slightly more cloud around at the beginning of next wedk.

:07:21.:07:36.

Hello there. Tomorrow is the longest day, the summer solstice, it's not

:07:37.:07:41.

often that we bring you good news, but it does look promising for this

:07:42.:07:46.

weekend. There may be a little rain in the far north of Scotland,

:07:47.:07:48.

otherwise it should be dry and there'll be good spells of sunshine.

:07:49.:07:52.

With light winds, it should feel quite warm as well. The reason for

:07:53.:07:56.

the quiet weather, this
