:01:16. > :01:19.publication of a Serious Case Review into the deaths of Rachael Slack and
:01:20. > :01:23.her young son who were killed in their Derbyshire cottage. The report
:01:24. > :01:27.says their deaths were unpredictable and unpreventable, but lessons have
:01:28. > :01:31.been learnt. Namely, the sharing of information between different
:01:32. > :01:38.agencies. It's now been improved, as has their record keeping. And health

:02:25. > :02:30.not have been predicted or indeed prevented. Rachel's partner at the
:02:31. > :02:34.time of the deaths said the deaths were preventable, he maintains the
:02:35. > :02:43.police should have told Rachel she was at high risk of being killed by
:02:44. > :02:46.the man. If you get a call from the police saying your partner is at
:02:47. > :02:57.high risk of homicide you would take notice of what you have to do. If we
:02:58. > :03:02.now assess the victim as I'd risk of homicide we make that absolutely

:04:26. > :04:30.This review was done three years ago and since then police say lessons

:04:37. > :04:42.called the those more communication between agencies. The findings of
:04:43. > :04:49.this review was only published today. It is seriously flawed. The
:04:50. > :04:55.police themselves had assessed Rachel and Auden as being at high
:04:56. > :05:02.risk of domestic, side and yet they failed to inform her. I know it has
:05:03. > :05:06.only just been released but it was done three years ago and all the
:05:07. > :05:15.agencies have told us they have changed since then. This flies in
:05:16. > :05:20.the face of the coroner and Julie's findings in our recent inquest. They
:05:21. > :05:28.listened to evidence for five weeks and the evidence was that the police
:05:29. > :05:29.failed to inform Rachel that she and her child were 0
:05:30. > :05:35.failed to inform Rachel that she and her child were at serious risk of
:05:36. > :05:40.domestic, side. That is a major omission from this serious case
:05:41. > :05:50.review. I do not see how they can where lessons. What do you want to
:05:51. > :05:55.see happen now? A public enquiry into the police and state agencies
:05:56. > :05:59.responds to cases of domestic violence. Clearly there is a major
:06:00. > :06:11.problem in this country, women and children are not getting the
:06:12. > :06:16.protection they deserve. We need to understand what the systemic
:06:17. > :06:22.problems are because clearly there are systemic failure is going on
:06:23. > :06:25.across the country. We have had numerous inquests which have found
:06:26. > :06:35.state agencies failing to protect women and children, this has to
:06:36. > :06:41.stop. Still to come, after two day's rather wintry mix, what does
:06:42. > :06:47.the forecast have in store? Rain, rain and more rain. It is set to
:06:48. > :06:52.turn unsettled tomorrow as wet and windy weather arrives to take us
:06:53. > :06:59.into the weekend. I will have the full forecast later. Next tonight, a
:07:00. > :07:03.cost`saving idea from two of our emergency services. The police force
:07:04. > :07:06.and Fire Service in Derbyshire are looking at the possibility of having
:07:07. > :07:12.a new SHARED headquarters.It would be built on the site of the current
:07:13. > :07:24.police HQ in Ripley. Our reporter Simon Hare is there now. Simon, how
:07:25. > :07:28.would this work? This is Derbyshire police headquarters but it could
:07:29. > :07:34.also soon leave home to Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service. That is the
:07:35. > :07:38.plan that is at a very early stage and it would need planning
:07:39. > :07:44.permission. The police announced earlier this week it wants to
:07:45. > :07:48.replace two buildings on this site because they are crumbling. The Fire
:07:49. > :07:55.Service headquarters building in Derby is also said to be very
:07:56. > :08:00.outdated. It will be sold off as part of these plans to help fund the
:08:01. > :08:10.project. The man in charge of police purse strings says it is all a
:08:11. > :08:16.matter of good timing. Old buildings need money spent on them or are
:08:17. > :08:21.expensive to run, it is either that or we look for a replacement. It was
:08:22. > :08:29.quite fortunate both of us had a similar need at the same time. Both
:08:30. > :08:34.the police and Fire Department at the moment are having to make big
:08:35. > :08:38.savings, the Fire Brigade Union will hope this could see the number of
:08:39. > :08:45.proposed closures of fire stations could be reduced. There could be
:08:46. > :08:51.losses of jobs in backroom staff but we are reassured this will not
:08:52. > :08:55.affect front line policing and they could be a new joint police and Fire
:08:56. > :09:01.Service headquarters here within the next two or three years. Next
:09:02. > :09:04.tonight, the huge number of missed appointments in the NHS. Last year,
