to help vulnerable youngsters, describing social services

:00:22.:00:23.

The government has promised to end child poverty by 2020, but Kids

:00:24.:00:28.

And, as Scott Ellis reports, they're supporting a new task force

:00:29.:00:32.

A new campaign video highlighting the plight of honourable yotngsters.

:00:33.:00:48.

It has been launched by Kids Company which has helped 1500 private

:00:49.:00:53.

children in the area. It includes this young man. `` vulnerable

youngsters. I was sleeping on park benches.

:01:02.:01:08.

He thinks most people do not realise how many youngsters get into

:01:09.:01:12.

difficulties. They see all the homeless pdople

:01:13.:01:16.

what they do not really think that young people get into that

:01:17.:01:23.

situation. I know loads of people, probably loads of children who are

:01:24.:01:29.

in difficulty. The charity launched its calpaign in

:01:30.:01:33.

Bristol today for one in fotr children grows up in povertx. But

:01:34.:01:39.

it's not `` higher than the national average. Most deprived is this young

man, Lawrence. `` this area. We used to have playgroups. Now they

have even taken away. You do not get as much as if you were in a posh

:01:56.:01:58.

area. The government wants to end child

:01:59.:02:04.

per day by 2020 and says spdnding on child protection has increased. This

:02:05.:02:09.

charity is worried about a cut in social workers. There are 3850

:02:10.:02:14.

vacancies for social workers in England. If you have that m`ny

vacancies, the other people they have more cases to deal with. It is

:02:19.:02:25.

bursting at the seams. The local council says it has significantly

:02:26.:02:28.

fewer resources to help children compared to a few years ago. The

:02:29.:02:33.

council says it is having stccesses in places like this. There hs a

:02:34.:02:37.

troubled families project which has been going for two years and has a

:02:38.:02:42.

1000 households. There is another one in association with the police

which is getting help through to disadvantaged children quickly.

The Chief Constable of Avon and Somerset Police has been told

:03:07.:03:09.

been downgraded but says he still doesn't know what he's done wrong.

The Chief Constable has been suspended since May after complaints

:03:13.:03:25.

were made about his behaviotr. Since then officers have in interviewing

Constable rub his silence on the allegations which have rockdd both

:03:41.:03:46.

him and his force. He says he has not seen any details of any

:03:47.:03:49.

allegations against him and he says he has been told the behaviour under

investigation is not as serhous as originally not as it is no longer

:03:56.:03:59.

being investigated as a crilinal matter. He welcomes this. The IPCC

:04:00.:04:04.

says he has been served with a gross misconduct noticed and says you will

:04:05.:04:10.

be interviewed once the information analysed has been gathered. What

:04:11.:04:15.

could happen to him? The sanctions would range as that for an ordinary
