:00:54. > :00:55.First tonight, the so called superhead Rachel de
:00:56. > :00:59.Souza did get an early warnhng of one Ofsted inspection
:01:00. > :01:03.but she has been cleared of similar allegations at two other schools.
:01:04. > :01:06.Schools should only have half a day's notice of an inspection
:01:07. > :01:09.But it had been claimed that three schools linked to Dame Rachdl were
:01:10. > :01:13.tipped off much earlier givhng them an unfair advantage.
:01:14. > :01:16.The schools were Ormiston Victory Academy at Costessex.
:01:17. > :01:22.Ofsted has been investigating the claims and this afternoon gave
:01:23. > :01:30.No evidence of early warning at Ormiston Victory or
:01:31. > :01:34.But Dame Rachel did know about an inspection at Yarmouth bdcause of
:01:35. > :01:37.in the words of the report, a lapse in information sharing procddures.
:01:38. > :01:51.She is a high profile super head, made a Dame in the New Year 's
:01:52. > :01:54.Honours list. At the last fdw weeks, she has been at the centre of
:01:55. > :01:58.allegations that she was tipped off about the date of Ofsted
:01:59. > :02:07.inspections. She was the exdcutive principal at the school. Last year,
:02:08. > :02:10.she moved on to become chief executive of the Inspiration Trust.
:02:11. > :02:17.She runs the two other schools that were under investigation. This
:02:18. > :02:21.afternoon, Ofsted found there was no evidence that three academids had
:02:22. > :02:27.improper notice but it did find that Rachel De Souza, who was also a
:02:28. > :02:31.part`time Ofsted inspector, was mistakenly included among the
:02:32. > :02:34.recipients of an e`mail sent to a group of new inspectors. Its report
:02:35. > :02:38.says the e`mail gave her advance notice of the inspection at grainier
:02:39. > :02:42.`` great Yarmouth primary Academy, where she is the chair of governors
:02:43. > :02:47.and the Chief Executive of the sponsor. Ofsted said as soon as it
:02:48. > :02:51.found out, it changed the d`te of the inspection and returned five
:02:52. > :02:57.weeks later. It also came to the school for an unannounced inspection
:02:58. > :03:02.this week. But Ormiston is not being we inspected. Allegations from this
:03:03. > :03:06.parent that it got advanced notice were not substantiated. Ofsted said
:03:07. > :03:11.the school was in a heightened state of readiness and had predicted the
:03:12. > :03:14.time frame for inspection. H have to believe them but there is still a
:03:15. > :03:20.suspicion that somebody knew something a little bit more specific
:03:21. > :03:25.than that. That was as much as I said to Robin. He has looked around
:03:26. > :03:31.and has not found anything tntoward. There is still that suspicion in my
:03:32. > :03:36.mind. The review found no f`ult of the Ormiston Academy's trust, while
:03:37. > :03:47.Rachel D'Souza has not responded to requests for interviews.
:03:48. > :03:50.And we did ask Ofsted to cole on the programme.

:04:32. > :04:34.on the phone with her. You have a lovely phone call and chattdd for
:04:35. > :04:39.about half an hour about her birthday, but Christmas, thd things
:04:40. > :04:46.she wanted to do in the week. Within half an hour or 40 minutes, she was
:04:47. > :04:51.gone. I cannot read the cards because it's too upsetting. In 010,
:04:52. > :04:53.she was repeatedly turned away by doctors at the accident and
:04:54. > :04:58.emergency department of Southend Hospital. She was told nothhng was
:04:59. > :05:02.wrong, even though she was bleeding heavily. Later, she was diagnosed
:05:03. > :05:08.with cervical cancer. Earlidr this year, when she knew she was dying,
:05:09. > :05:14.she was interviewed by Look East. You are determined. I will fight as
:05:15. > :05:17.long as I can. I will never give in. Had they diagnosed you sooner,
:05:18. > :05:24.you wouldn't be in this poshtion. No, I wouldn't. That is somdthing I
:05:25. > :05:30.try to come to terms with every day. Some days it hit me hard. In the
:05:31. > :05:34.last few weeks, she was awarded more than ?300,000 compensation `nd she
:05:35. > :05:38.is giving thousands of that fact of those who helped and treated her,

:05:44. > :05:53.counselling service, ecologhcal support service and other therapy.
:05:54. > :05:58.In a statement, the chief ntrse at Southend Hospital offered hdr
:05:59. > :06:02.condolences to her family and described her as an extremely
:06:03. > :06:07.courageous woman. The statelent praised her generosity and said the
:06:08. > :06:11.hospital was extremely gratdful for her donations. The family s`y they
:06:12. > :06:14.are proud she is being so gdnerous to the hospital that failed her
:06:15. > :06:16.We saw Jemma's mother and stepfather in that report.
:06:17. > :06:19.I spoke to them late this afternoon, and asked how they felt
:06:20. > :06:25.about her decision to give this money to the hospital.
:06:26. > :06:32.I am very proud that she gave the money. I think it was a verx
:06:33. > :06:38.charitable thing for her to do, when the department had failed hdr on so
:06:39. > :06:44.many instances. And what is the money actually going towards the
:06:45. > :06:48.hospital? She has already donated to the counselling services because
:06:49. > :06:55.they helped her immensely. @lso to the cancer charity. She was also in
:06:56. > :07:02.the process of donating to the therapy appeal, which is her
:07:03. > :07:08.oncologist's appeal. We will carry that on. Gary, it's an awful loss
:07:09. > :07:12.for both of you but does it give you any comfort that she will h`ve made
:07:13. > :07:15.such a difference in this w`y? It does because when she got the
:07:16. > :07:20.money, she didn't know what to do with it. We said, you can hdlp other
:07:21. > :07:27.people. I'm just proud that she will give it to the hospital that failed
:07:28. > :07:34.her. I don't think I could do it. We are going to give it to oncology,
:07:35. > :07:40.rather than the General Hospital. She wanted it to go to oncology to
:07:41. > :07:45.help other people there. It's a comfort to be able to do th`t. It
:07:46. > :07:51.would have been nice if she could have seen it go herself. Erhca, a
:07:52. > :07:54.terribly difficult time for you but what are your thoughts towards the
:07:55. > :08:00.hospital after all that you've been through? It's very hard for me
:08:01. > :08:08.because I actually work at the hospital. I am appalled that the
:08:09. > :08:14.treatment we had and I am jtst blessed that we were so lucky to get
:08:15. > :08:18.the treatment that she got `t oncology and radiotherapy bdcause
:08:19. > :08:24.they are absolutely outstanding especially the doctor who w`s hurt
:08:25. > :08:28.oncology doctor. She found ht very difficult to trust doctors `fter all
:08:29. > :08:37.of the instances. When she finally got her doctor, she felt trtly lucky
:08:38. > :08:41.to have him. Gary, we heard Jemma and she was such a fighter. She was
:08:42. > :08:49.because she could have given up three years ago. She kept going and
:08:50. > :08:52.going. She was planning for Christmas and we always knew it
:08:53. > :08:58.could come an end. It was r`ther sudden at the end. She wouldn't let
:08:59. > :09:03.it get her down. She got tired at two speaking for an hour. She would
:09:04. > :09:07.go on, have her friends arotnd as if nothing had happened but it would be
:09:08. > :09:14.obvious to us that she was tired. She was a fighter, yes, verx much
:09:15. > :09:17.so. She talked to us about how an earlier diagnosis might havd made
:09:18. > :09:22.all the difference. Can you cope with the fact that it might have
:09:23. > :09:26.done? It's very hard becausd nobody can say for definite but her first
:09:27. > :09:30.diagnosis, they did say, if we'd have got this six months ago, like
:09:31. > :09:35.all cancers, the earlier yot get them, the more chance you'vd got of
:09:36. > :09:38.survival. You cannot say shd definitely would have survived but
:09:39. > :09:42.the odds would have been in her favour because they've got far
:09:43. > :09:47.better treatments now. By the time they had founded, it was too late
:09:48. > :09:51.the chilled the first one btt this was a secondary cancer, which can
:09:52. > :09:59.always happen when the earlx one is not found. It was very hard because
:10:00. > :10:02.when I did question the varhous doctors at accident and emergency, I
:10:03. > :10:08.was basically told that if H carried on, I would be barred from the
:10:09. > :10:14.Department and they wouldn't admit Jemma. I was in a strange shtuation.
:10:15. > :10:17.You want to kick off becausd that is your daughter lying there, bleeding
:10:18. > :10:20.and in pain, but when you do go out approach them, that is what they
:10:21. > :10:24.tell you. They are not going to treat your daughter and you will be
:10:25. > :10:28.barred from the accident and emergency department. We hope that
:10:29. > :10:32.something is set up. The people are not specialists but we hope that
:10:33. > :10:37.they do, in future, get told that if someone comes in like this,
:10:38. > :10:40.referring to a specialist and the specialists have to realise that not
:10:41. > :10:44.everyone is going to be a c`ncer case but it's better to be safe than
:10:45. > :10:50.sorry. We hope in future thdy refer people. Rather that than go away and
:10:51. > :10:57.see your GP. That is what Jdmma wanted. She wanted to know that
:10:58. > :11:01.people would be helped in the future. She knew it was too late to
:11:02. > :11:06.help her but she wanted to help other people. Thank you verx much
:11:07. > :11:10.for speaking to us. Thank you. Thank you very much.

:17:02. > :17:07.offer an energy which has bden missing. We can get things done
:17:08. > :17:11.It's not just about the polhce service. It's also about thd crimes
:17:12. > :17:14.side of our job, challenging the rest of the criminal justicd system
:17:15. > :17:17.to improve and put victims `t the heart of the system. I think the

:17:23. > :17:26.Commissioners in the Easter on salaries ranging from ?70,000 to

:18:02. > :18:04.So now it has been confirmed. How has it gone down?
:18:05. > :18:09.It's turning out to be a big talking point. Even though Labour wdre
:18:10. > :18:14.lukewarm about the idea, a lot of people here put a lot of effort into

:18:18. > :18:21.abroad at the moment but his colleague from Northumbria has been
:18:22. > :18:26.complaining today, saying PCC 's have done a good job. I havd to say,
:18:27. > :18:31.most people here are quite glad that they are going. The MP for Corby
:18:32. > :18:36.said tonight that they have become very expensive. He said the PCC in
:18:37. > :18:39.Northamptonshire had increased its office costs by 60% in a ye`r. If
:18:40. > :18:42.Labour get in next year, thhs is going to happen, they are going to
:18:43. > :18:48.go. Ed Miliband's speech this afternoon,
:18:49. > :18:52.anything in it for us? Very broad brush strokes,
:18:53. > :18:57.particularly about the NHS. There was nothing specific for our region.
:18:58. > :19:01.The dimensions of our region, not even the Clacton by`election, which
:19:02. > :19:05.gives you an idea of how seriously the parties taking it. Having said
:19:06. > :19:08.that, Tim Young got a short standing ovation this morning when hd spoke
:19:09. > :19:12.today, attacking what he called UKIP's policy of hatred and
:19:13. > :19:16.division. Another speech whhch people are talking about tonight was
:19:17. > :19:19.given by the Labour candidate for great Yarmouth, who spoke vdry
:19:20. > :19:25.movingly about the problems which people in the town are facing.
:19:26. > :19:28.People in great Yarmouth ard always the first to feel the government
:19:29. > :19:37.cuts and the last to recover. Unemployment is high, in sole wards
:19:38. > :19:40.50% of the children live in poverty. People didn't vote for UKIP at the
:19:41. > :19:45.last local elections becausd they don't care about people. Thdy don't
:19:46. > :19:47.care about migrant workers. They are just trying to protect their

:19:55. > :19:58.tomorrow. Most candidates whll go back to the region feeling that they
:19:59. > :19:59.have a very clear Labour message, which they can sell on the
:20:00. > :20:02.doorsteps. to seventh place in the Chalpionship
:20:03. > :20:06.following their third straight victory. They beat Wigan Athletic
:20:07. > :20:08.2`1 last night. It's their first away win
:20:09. > :20:22.of the season and the first time There is no doubt in switch a united
:20:23. > :20:31.team these days, thanks to their never say die approach. McC`rthy
:20:32. > :20:35.shuffled his pack, recalling home`grown look I am, and it was the
:20:36. > :20:45.young midfielder who gave it which time the lead. Ipswich conthnued to
:20:46. > :20:49.look the better side. Wigan was screaming for a Web card ag`inst
:20:50. > :20:56.this player. The referee rightly chose yellow. In the second half,
:20:57. > :20:59.Ipswich town doubled their lead and the persistence of the Irishman who
:21:00. > :21:08.scored a sweet goal against his former club. Inside the last ten
:21:09. > :21:12.minutes, Wigan gave themselves a lifeline, when they reduced the
