:00:11. > :00:12.of scurvy were raised more than a year before his death.

:00:17. > :00:41.Dylan Seabridge was eight years old when he died of scurvy in 2011
:00:42. > :00:44.and yet, his inquest heard, he saw no doctors, dentists
:00:45. > :00:49.or teachers from when he was just 13 months old until his death.
:00:50. > :00:52.Now a BBC Wales investigation has found that concerns were raised
:00:53. > :00:56.to the authorities more than a year before he died.
:00:57. > :00:59.More than four years on and nothing has been published about
:01:00. > :01:02.whether more could have been done to prevent it.
:01:03. > :01:11.India Pollock has this special report.
:01:12. > :01:18.Dylan was invisible to local councils, according to a draft
:01:19. > :01:22.serious case review. The author of the report knew so little about
:01:23. > :01:27.Dylan that it was impossible to draw a picture of him, she said. The
:01:28. > :01:31.inquest into his death heard that Dylan did not see a doctor or
:01:32. > :01:37.dentist from the age of 13 months until he died of scurvy at the age
:01:38. > :01:43.of eight. Scurvy is caused by a lack of vitamins C. Dylan's inquest heard
:01:44. > :01:52.that it isn't easily preventable and treatable disease. Some of the
:01:53. > :01:57.critical features -- clinical features would be very typical of
:01:58. > :02:00.scurvy, the abnormal garments, the rash on the lead, the swelling of
:02:01. > :02:08.the lower limbs, the discolouration or bruising on the lower legs.
:02:09. > :02:12.Dylan's parents don't believe he died of scurvy. Or that he was
:02:13. > :02:18.invisible to the outside world. They were charged with neglect but those
:02:19. > :02:25.charges were dropped in 2014. Dylan lived here in rural Pembrokeshire
:02:26. > :02:31.but his mother worked as a teacher in neighbouring carrot again. It was
:02:32. > :02:36.during an employment tribunal the true professionals became aware she
:02:37. > :02:40.was suffering mental ill health. They contacted social services and
:02:41. > :02:44.told them that he was home educated. He died a year and a half later.
:02:45. > :02:50.After his death, a serious case review was commissioned to look at
:02:51. > :02:54.the involvement of any agencies. It should've been completed quickly so
:02:55. > :02:58.that any lessons can be learnt and shared. The draft review we have
:02:59. > :03:05.seen has never been published and poor years after Dylan died, nothing
:03:06. > :03:09.else has been published either. Mark Dyson is a former solicitor and was
:03:10. > :03:14.one of the people who contacted social services. He also told senior
:03:15. > :03:18.officials that he was anxious about the investigation they were carrying
:03:19. > :03:21.out after Dylan's death. He said he was not interviewed properly about
:03:22. > :03:25.his involvement and a key documents were not shared with the author of
:03:26. > :03:30.the review. He also says the delay in publication is worrying. The
:03:31. > :03:36.whole purpose of serious case reviews is to learn lessons. They
:03:37. > :03:45.need to be approached with urgency because if lessons are not learnt,
:03:46. > :03:50.these things will happen again. It has been inadequate. There doesn't
:03:51. > :03:55.seem to have been any fully co-ordinated response or sense of
:03:56. > :04:07.urgency, no focus on the child and the fact a child is dead. The
:04:08. > :04:11.council did and why Mr Dyson's claims. Pembrokeshire Council says
:04:12. > :04:14.the delay has been caused by external factors. They had to wait
:04:15. > :04:18.into the criminal investigation was completed and for the inquest which
:04:19. > :04:22.took place last year in January. They also said the process was very
:04:23. > :04:26.complex because of the change in government guidance and changing the
:04:27. > :04:33.structure of Pembrokeshire safeguarding board. They say the new
:04:34. > :04:38.review will be published soon Dylan was home educated. 1500 children in
:04:39. > :04:42.Wales are. There is no legal obligation to registered your
:04:43. > :04:47.teaching children at home. The children's commissioner of says that
:04:48. > :04:52.needs to change. I don't think Dylan is the only child who is under the
:04:53. > :04:57.radar in Britain so we should be learning what we can very clearly
:04:58. > :05:01.from this case and as quickly as possible. The Welsh government did
:05:02. > :05:04.not want to be interviewed but we asked them a number of questions.
:05:05. > :05:09.They told us they couldn't comment on an individual case but said the
:05:10. > :05:14.new non-statutory guidance on home education would be published soon.
:05:15. > :05:19.As for Mr Dyson, he is now retired. He gave up his career after 20 years
:05:20. > :05:22.in public services and says the fight for a full and robust
:05:23. > :05:28.investigation has had a profound impact on him. You start to feel as
:05:29. > :05:35.though either the thread of reason has broken or that there is
:05:36. > :05:48.something so profoundly wrong that you can't put it right. It exhausts
:05:49. > :05:52.you. It goes on and on and on because he was just trying to find
:05:53. > :05:56.somebody who can listen fairly to what you are saying, not necessarily
:05:57. > :06:00.agree with you, but listen fairly to what you are saying, and all the
:06:01. > :06:06.time saying is a child is dead. Where are we in terms of learning
:06:07. > :06:08.lessons from that? Who is asking the questions and shining a light on the
:06:09. > :06:11.situation? The answer is nobody. Former solicitor Mark Dyson ending
:06:12. > :06:14.that report by India Pollock. Two men from Wiltshire have appeared
:06:15. > :06:17.in court to face charges of death by dangerous driving
:06:18. > :06:19.after the tipper truck they were in killed four people,
:06:20. > :06:23.including three men from South Robert Parker from Cwmbran,
:06:24. > :06:27.Phil Allen from Loughor and Stephen Vaughan from Swansea
:06:28. > :06:31.died when their car was hit Four-year-old Mitzy Steady
:06:32. > :06:36.was also killed. Phillip Potter and Matthew Gordon
:06:37. > :06:43.appeared before Bath magistrates. Staff at the Brantano shoe shop
:06:44. > :06:47.chain face an uncertain future after it was announced the company's
:06:48. > :06:51.gone into administration. The firm employ 2000 people
:06:52. > :06:56.across the UK with 68 staff employed A court in Ireland has dismissed
:06:57. > :07:04.a copyright claim brought against the Welsh government
:07:05. > :07:06.over its use of two photographs of Dylan Thomas and his wife,
:07:07. > :07:10.Caitlin, taken in the 1930s. The company Pablo Star accused
:07:11. > :07:13.the government of using the images without permission in
:07:14. > :07:20.a Visit Wales campaign. The amount spent by councils
:07:21. > :07:22.in Wales on landfill has fallen by nearly a quarter in the last four
:07:23. > :07:26.years according to figures obtained The annual cost has dropped
:07:27. > :07:33.from more than ?62 million to more than ?47 million but that's
:07:34. > :07:40.still a bill of ?130,000 every day. And the ongoing cost of landfill has
:07:41. > :07:43.driven one local authority, Rhondda Cynon Taff, to become
:07:44. > :08:03.the latest to commit to stop All the stuff we didn't want, didn't
:08:04. > :08:07.recycle and Thruway, crushed up. 3500 tonnes of that processed every
:08:08. > :08:14.week, enough room for another 20 years worth. It has become so
:08:15. > :08:19.expensive to get rid of what we don't want in big holes in the
:08:20. > :08:25.ground like this between the UK Government's landfill tax and the
:08:26. > :08:29.Welsh government's finds. The council have become the latest
:08:30. > :08:33.authority in Wales to say enough is enough, no more landfill for
:08:34. > :08:41.household waste, no more of what we don't want in places like this. From
:08:42. > :08:44.April, black bag waste will be burnt to generate electricity instead.
:08:45. > :08:57.That Ashley made into something else. It costs a syntax alone to
:08:58. > :09:01.bury rubbish so it makes sense. Most local authorities have cut their
:09:02. > :09:06.landfill costs over the past four gears. Two of wine has seen the
:09:07. > :09:11.biggest fall, slashing their bill by 89%. Other councils have seen their
:09:12. > :09:17.costs remain flat. Anglesey pretty much zero. Conwy has seen the
:09:18. > :09:21.biggest increase, 26% more than 4-mac rig years ago. It says it is
:09:22. > :09:30.down to the increase in landfill tax not that it is put in more waste in
:09:31. > :09:36.the ground. Recyclable. Tall pine say in proving recycling rates is up
:09:37. > :09:42.to reduce costs. These are your crisp bags or bread wrappers. They
:09:43. > :09:47.cannot be recycled. Material like this goes to heat treatment but that
:09:48. > :09:54.does not come cheap. Budgets are still as tight as ever. We don't
:09:55. > :09:59.make money on recycling. The money we earn on recycling goes into
:10:00. > :10:05.running the service. ?130,000 a day is still spent in Wales in landfill
:10:06. > :10:07.charges. Here in Denbighshire, recycling is higher than anywhere
:10:08. > :10:13.else in the country but they are keen to improve further. With our
:10:14. > :10:18.current disposal costs, it could save the council half ?1 million a
:10:19. > :10:23.year if that last little bit of recycling could be put on the right
:10:24. > :10:28.containers. But of course changes to our recycling does not always go
:10:29. > :10:36.down well. Protests in Cardiff over new Wii burns that some that were
:10:37. > :10:40.unnecessary. Anger over new recycling boxes in Gwent which some
:10:41. > :10:44.find difficult to use an impractical. The Welsh government
:10:45. > :10:49.wants a zero waste Wales in 2050. The methods used to get their is
:10:50. > :10:52.still leaving some deeply sceptical. Plans for a ?19.5 million renovation
:10:53. > :10:54.of one of Aberystwyth's most iconic buildings have been discussed
:10:55. > :10:57.at a public meeting this evening. Aberystwyth University hopes
:10:58. > :10:59.to transform the Old College into a centre for heritage,
:11:00. > :11:03.learning and enterprise. It's looking to secure
:11:04. > :11:05.half the money it needs Rugby and a tough night
:11:06. > :11:12.for the Newport Gwent Dragons, who were denied the top spot in Pool
:11:13. > :11:15.2 of the Challenge Cup tonight, The Sharks secured a bonus point,
:11:16. > :11:20.scoring five tries and earning Dragons, who had already qualified
:11:21. > :11:26.for the knockout stages, will now face an away

:11:42. > :11:47.for awhile. The next few days, milder and more changeable compared
:11:48. > :11:50.to recently. It is back to normal. Low pressure on bringing milder and
:11:51. > :11:55.wetter conditions and from the Atlantic, meaning more rain tonight,
:11:56. > :11:59.heavy bursts of rain, too, Hill fog, strong winds as well. Those
:12:00. > :12:05.temperatures five Celsius and rising. Tomorrow morning, more wet
:12:06. > :12:09.and windy weather, heavy rain, gusty winds, poor travelling conditions,
:12:10. > :12:12.but the rain will clear later in the morning with brighter weather
:12:13. > :12:17.following from the West. For the rest of the UK, a band of heavy rain
:12:18. > :12:23.will move eastwards during the day. The risk of flooding in parts of
:12:24. > :12:28.melting snow. Behind the rain, it would try and brighten up. Blustery
:12:29. > :12:32.showers moving into western Scotland and Northern Ireland. Temperatures
:12:33. > :12:39.much higher than today. 11 in glass go. A nice afternoon closer to home.
:12:40. > :12:45.Maybe a few showers running into North Wales later in the afternoon.
:12:46. > :12:50.Milder than recently. 11-12dC. Tomorrow evening, one or two
:12:51. > :12:58.showers, otherwise the dry night. Mist forming inland. A misty
:12:59. > :13:02.starting places on Saturday otherwise dry and bright sunshine
:13:03. > :13:07.but I doubt it will stay dry all day. More rain coming along to the
:13:08. > :13:12.evening with strengthening winds. On Sunday, cloudy and breezy, a little
:13:13. > :13:17.rain and drizzle, dry spells and exceptionally mild. We have seen the
:13:18. > :13:18.last of the frost for awhile. Milder and changeable over the next few
:13:19. > :13:24.days and into next week. From all of us on the
