:00:25. > :00:26.with mental health problems - as he launches a new approach

:00:27. > :00:29.to treatment for young people in Buckinghamshire.

:00:30. > :00:35.And if I don't think the person I'm talking to knows what it

:00:36. > :00:46.in Oxfordshire sports awards are about start. We are live with some

:00:47. > :00:56.of the live -- nervous nominees. It's claimed an independent

:00:57. > :00:59.inquiry should be held into how a business set up

:01:00. > :01:02.by Buckinghamshire County Council to run adult social services lost

:01:03. > :01:05.millions of pounds - and was criticised for

:01:06. > :01:08.the quality of its care. Healthwatch Buckinghamshire

:01:09. > :01:13.wants answers as to how Buckinghamshire Care

:01:14. > :01:15.was run and how vulnerable Brennan Nicholls has

:01:16. > :01:18.this exclusive report. Damning report after damning report

:01:19. > :01:22.- Buckinghamshire Care was supposed to look after some of the most

:01:23. > :01:26.vulnerable members of the community. The company was set up by Bucks

:01:27. > :01:30.county council back in 2013. contract to run services cross

:01:31. > :01:36.the county - in peoples homes, a network of community centres,

:01:37. > :01:38.a farm near Milton Keynes and a respite care

:01:39. > :01:43.home in Beaconsfield. Its managing director

:01:44. > :01:47.was paid ?140,000 a year. The council said the firm

:01:48. > :01:49.would save taxpayers more The financial accounts

:01:50. > :01:55.of Buckinghamshire Care Over the last three

:01:56. > :01:59.years the business has What makes even worse

:02:00. > :02:04.reading though is this, from the Care

:02:05. > :02:06.Quality Commission. A report into Seeleys Respite Care

:02:07. > :02:09.in Beaconsfield, which And the combination

:02:10. > :02:13.of these two means that Buckinghamshire County Council

:02:14. > :02:16.pulled the plug on the business and It's now trying to learn

:02:17. > :02:20.the mistakes of what When we began to identify that

:02:21. > :02:24.things weren't going right, both in terms of finances

:02:25. > :02:28.and the quality of care, at that point the governance had

:02:29. > :02:32.to be ramped up and began to take

:02:33. > :02:34.a much closer interest. But it was really only when

:02:35. > :02:38.the report on Seeleys came out that the full extent of the

:02:39. > :02:41.failings became clear. The council took decisive

:02:42. > :02:44.and quick action which was Not everyone though is convinced

:02:45. > :02:49.by the council's approach. Healthwatch Buckinghamshire

:02:50. > :02:53.want more, much more. The public don't know

:02:54. > :02:55.what's going on. They just think it was just

:02:56. > :02:58.another care home contract They don't realise that

:02:59. > :03:02.it was wholly owned by How do you think that process

:03:03. > :03:10.should be investigated? I think it should be a public

:03:11. > :03:13.enquiry into what happened. The county council

:03:14. > :03:15.has now taken full control of Buckinghamshire Care's

:03:16. > :03:16.services once again. It believes all services

:03:17. > :03:19.are running well. The council says it will work

:03:20. > :03:23.with Healthwatch Buckinghamshire Its been confirmed that more

:03:24. > :03:33.than 20 jobs are to go The team ceased

:03:34. > :03:42.trading this morning. The firm was placed in

:03:43. > :03:44.administration earlier this month. David Lumb has been

:03:45. > :03:46.following the story - and told me what it means for Manor

:03:47. > :03:49.and the staff: Manor's operating company

:03:50. > :03:51.Just Racing Services has been in administration for about three

:03:52. > :03:53.weeks but they've been The firm employed 212

:03:54. > :04:00.members of staff. We understand more or less all of

:04:01. > :04:04.them are going to be made redundant. They were sent home earlier

:04:05. > :04:07.and we expect all but a handful of them to be officially made

:04:08. > :04:10.redundant in the next few days. I've got a statement

:04:11. > :04:12.here from the joint administrators. It says it's "deeply regretable"

:04:13. > :04:21.the team has had to close its doors. It said it has has a very successful

:04:22. > :04:24.two years and its priority now will be working with the staff affected

:04:25. > :04:35.to make sure they get their redundancy payments as soon as

:04:36. > :04:38.possible. The team started in 2012 called Virgin Racing. It's not the

:04:39. > :04:42.first time it's been in administration.

:04:43. > :04:44.It went into administration in 2015 but a new investor was found

:04:45. > :04:49.But even if that were to happen, the move makes it much harder

:04:50. > :04:52.for Manor to make it to the start of the season in Australia

:04:53. > :04:55.A man's died after a two-car crash near Banbury.

:04:56. > :04:57.It happened in Cropredy on Tuesday morning.

:04:58. > :05:00.A Ford Fiesta ended up on its side in a hedgerow.

:05:01. > :05:10.More than a month after the death of George Michael at his home

:05:11. > :05:12.in South Oxfordshire, his body is yet to be

:05:13. > :05:15.Police say they're still waiting for toxicology

:05:16. > :05:17.reports to come back, which means the inquest into his

:05:18. > :05:24.The star's body was found at his home in Goring on Christmas Day.

:05:25. > :05:26.Services have been held to mark Holocaust memorial

:05:27. > :05:30.In Oxford members of the public and councillors gathered

:05:31. > :05:33.for a special ceremony at the town hall, marking the anniversary

:05:34. > :05:38.of the liberation of Auschwitz at the end of the Second World War.

:05:39. > :05:40.John Fieldsend, who now lives in Thame, remembers Hitler coming

:05:41. > :06:05.People of all faiths gathered at Oxford town Hall for Holocaust

:06:06. > :06:09.Memorial Day. It has been more than 70 years since the genocide which

:06:10. > :06:15.claimed more than 6 million Jewish lives. It gives us an opportunity to

:06:16. > :06:19.member what happened in the context of the Second World War, to remember

:06:20. > :06:25.the absolutely appalling industrialisation of killing. The

:06:26. > :06:34.total lack of humanity in dealing with people. John witnessed this

:06:35. > :06:37.first hand. As a young Jewish boy living in Germany he heard Adolf

:06:38. > :06:50.Hitler address a rally. I can still remember that voice, ... That

:06:51. > :06:56.memory. It's firmly locked in the back of my head as I can't find the

:06:57. > :07:02.off switch. John now lives in tame. During the Second World War he and

:07:03. > :07:06.his black brother fled to Britain from Nazi, occupied Czechoslovakia.

:07:07. > :07:12.Their parents were taken to and chips. John still has the final

:07:13. > :07:16.letter they sent him. We want to say farewell to you who wear our dearest

:07:17. > :07:22.possession in the world. And only for a short time were we able to

:07:23. > :07:27.keep you. Don't forget us and be good. I come to, thank all the good

:07:28. > :07:35.people who have accepted you so nobly. Today photographs from the

:07:36. > :07:41.Holocaust went on display at the town Hall. The pictures of those

:07:42. > :07:47.emaciated bodies, the lines going to the gas chambers, yes, they are

:07:48. > :07:53.powerful images and ones that should inspire us to make sure it never

:07:54. > :07:57.happens again. Victims of genocide is in Cambodia, Rwanda and Bosnia

:07:58. > :07:59.were also remembered, along with those still being subjected to

:08:00. > :08:02.racism and intolerance. The actor, author and activist

:08:03. > :08:04.Russell Brand has helped to launch a new service for people living

:08:05. > :08:07.with mental health issues. Buckinghamshire Recovery College

:08:08. > :08:10.runs educational workshops in Aylesbury It now hopes people

:08:11. > :08:14.who have experienced troubles It now hopes people who have

:08:15. > :08:17.experienced troubles in their past will mentor

:08:18. > :08:29.those in need of help. We can't help everyone but everyone

:08:30. > :08:34.can help someone. A famous saying which encapsulates the ethos of a

:08:35. > :08:37.brand-new institution launched in Aylesbury this morning.

:08:38. > :08:41.Buckinghamshire Recovery College holds classes the people struggling

:08:42. > :08:46.with mental health will stop at today's event one man who has openly

:08:47. > :08:53.struggled with his was keen to lend his voice. Mental health is a

:08:54. > :08:57.disease of perspective. It is impossible for a person to attain

:08:58. > :09:02.that perspective in solitude, they report quiet support and community

:09:03. > :09:05.from people that understand it. The idea is simple. Health professionals

:09:06. > :09:09.work alongside tutors who have had their own personal battles with

:09:10. > :09:13.mental health. They then share their experiences to help others overcome

:09:14. > :09:18.the issues. The college took on its first students in September and now

:09:19. > :09:22.have nearly 200 people enrolled in workshops and courses tailored to

:09:23. > :09:26.improve their well-being. I'm now working in supporting people in

:09:27. > :09:31.mental health who need that support and understanding. And for me that

:09:32. > :09:34.passion is creativity and it has helped me get back on the road to

:09:35. > :09:39.recovery. But it has been 18 years and now is the right time for me to

:09:40. > :09:43.talk about it. I think they think there is this idea of recovery as

:09:44. > :09:50.some kind of finished product. I'm going to pop out of eight box and

:09:51. > :09:54.go, I recovered now! Hopefully that stigma will diminish and the

:09:55. > :09:58.perception will be, you can live meaningful life with a mental health

:09:59. > :10:02.difficulty. Today's event was the start of what the college hope will

:10:03. > :10:03.be a long, successful journey, stopping thousands of people

:10:04. > :10:09.overcome mental health one by one. Still to come -

:10:10. > :10:11.A new season on skates... The team sport combining hockey,

:10:12. > :10:23.rugby and even F1 - Some of the big names in Oxfordshire

:10:24. > :10:29.sports are here ready for the Oxfordshire sports awards.

:10:30. > :10:32.All this week we've been hearing some of the inspirational stories

:10:33. > :10:35.of families who've been cared for by the Children's Hospital in Oxford.

:10:36. > :10:38.Tonight, in the last of our series, we hear from some of the people

:10:39. > :10:41.who fundraise for the charity - to help pay for medical equipment

:10:42. > :10:43.as well provide respite facilities for families who need

:10:44. > :10:48.Katharine Da Costa has been to meet three friends from Bicester who've

:10:49. > :10:52.set their sights on raising ten thousand pounds to mark

:10:53. > :11:01.Three families with three big reasons to be thankful

:11:02. > :11:13.She was born with a cleft pallet, dislocated hips and also

:11:14. > :11:15.respiratory problems which meant that she needed to be resuscitated

:11:16. > :11:20.When Ralph was born he was unresponsive

:11:21. > :11:22.and they had to work on

:11:23. > :11:27.Unfortunately, he didn't stay breathing and they had to keep

:11:28. > :11:32.So he was taken into SCBU, into the intensive care unit, and he

:11:33. > :11:38.When Remy was six months he was rushed

:11:39. > :11:42.into hospital with sepsis and meningitis.

:11:43. > :11:44.We were told by the doctors it was potentially fatal.

:11:45. > :11:50.We really at the time had no idea of what the outcome was going to be.

:11:51. > :11:57.And what long-term lasting effect he would have as a result of it.

:11:58. > :12:01.They've all experienced the difficulties of living

:12:02. > :12:03.at the hospital with a sick child and the strain

:12:04. > :12:08.It made a really tough time as comfortable as it could possibly

:12:09. > :12:16.They helped the family as a whole, not just Beth.

:12:17. > :12:20.They were there with a cup of tea when we had really bad days.

:12:21. > :12:21.They worked tirelessly, which is just

:12:22. > :12:26.But even down to the small details, like the children's

:12:27. > :12:28.playroom - the batteries are always stocked

:12:29. > :12:32.and there's always something to play with.

:12:33. > :12:35.So, to show their appreciation and go the extra mile

:12:36. > :12:39.for the tenth anniversary year - the mums are planning to run 52

:12:40. > :12:43.miles in competitive races - from the Ox5 at Blenheim

:12:44. > :12:46.to the Oxford half marathon later this year -

:12:47. > :12:51.and they hope to raise ?10,000 in the process.

:12:52. > :12:54.I'm not a natural runner at all but I'm trying my hardest.

:12:55. > :12:55.I've bought a second-hand treadmill so

:12:56. > :12:59.I'll be practising in the evenings and while the children are in bed.

:13:00. > :13:02.You never know, we might hate the Oxford Half in October and then

:13:03. > :13:05.one of us has this great idea to enter a marathon before

:13:06. > :13:08.the end of the year - you never know.

:13:09. > :13:15.We've been so lucky with the hospital so, to be honest,

:13:16. > :13:18.raising ?10,000 feels like a very small price to pay,

:13:19. > :13:26.cos there's no price on the gratitude we've got.

:13:27. > :13:29.Well, a short time ago Eleanor Jones came into the studio -

:13:30. > :13:32.she's the hospital's head of fundraising.

:13:33. > :13:38.I asked her why launch a new fundraising campaign now.

:13:39. > :13:39.The tenth anniversary appeal to raise ?2

:13:40. > :13:42.enhance the services we need, and hospital

:13:43. > :13:44.have said to us this is

:13:45. > :13:47.what they need to make those services better for those young

:13:48. > :13:53.So what we're doing is trying to inspire the communities

:13:54. > :13:56.create the children's Spittal in the first

:13:57. > :13:58.place to come together to

:13:59. > :14:00.contribute to that ?2 million and raise money for some

:14:01. > :14:03.What projects do you need to get money for?

:14:04. > :14:05.The biggest is our parents' accommodation project.

:14:06. > :14:06.We will be expanding the accommodation

:14:07. > :14:09.we offer for the parents at the Children's Hospital, meaning mums

:14:10. > :14:12.and dads can stay near their sick children while they are in hospital.

:14:13. > :14:15.We are going to expand that from 17 to 60 beds.

:14:16. > :14:17.We're also going to be investing in state-of-the-art

:14:18. > :14:21.equipment, we're going to be improving some of those outside play

:14:22. > :14:24.areas, and just making those young patients' stay in hospital that

:14:25. > :14:28.There are a lot of charities out there who want people

:14:29. > :14:32.Some people might question why the NHS needs additional support.

:14:33. > :14:34.We want the NHS to be directing all of their funds

:14:35. > :14:37.into front-line clinical services, and a charities here to make those

:14:38. > :14:38.little added extras that little bit better.

:14:39. > :14:41.So from toys and games in our children's' playrooms all the

:14:42. > :14:44.way up to the big things like creating a dedicated Children's

:14:45. > :14:48.The charity gives the NHS a bit of flexibility to get not just

:14:49. > :14:50.what is needed but what makes the biggest difference.

:14:51. > :14:52.And obviously, like with all NHS services, demand

:14:53. > :14:55.is growing and it's only ever going to grow in the coming years.

:14:56. > :14:59.It means Oxfordshire Children's Hospital is a

:15:00. > :15:02.wonderful place to come, because it is providing world-class care.

:15:03. > :15:04.But that does mean those numbers are just going to increase

:15:05. > :15:07.so what is really important to us is that we

:15:08. > :15:10.are not just planning for now, we are planning for the future.

:15:11. > :15:12.And that is why we're investing ?2 million in

:15:13. > :15:15.So how big a challenge as it to get people who

:15:16. > :15:19.haven't had family members in the hospital to give money?

:15:20. > :15:21.Obviously, we've seen that people are so

:15:22. > :15:24.grateful when the doctors and nurses have been so kind, and they get out

:15:25. > :15:27.How hard is it to persuade other people

:15:28. > :15:32.Well, like you saw from the three ladies in the BT

:15:33. > :15:34.Well, like you saw from the three ladies in the VT

:15:35. > :15:37.earlier, those people that have been touched by the Children's Hospital

:15:38. > :15:38.absolutely recognise the need for it.

:15:39. > :15:41.But we are constantly inspired by patients and our clinicians and

:15:42. > :15:44.those fundraisers, and I don't think there's a single person in

:15:45. > :15:46.Oxfordshire that hasn't been touched by one of those groups.

:15:47. > :15:49.So what we want to say to the communities is,

:15:50. > :15:51.be as proud as we are about the place that you created.

:15:52. > :15:54.It was fundraising that created the Children's Hospital in the first

:15:55. > :15:57.Come together and let's make a difference for those

:15:58. > :16:02.We're less than two hours away from the start

:16:03. > :16:05.of the Oxfordshire Sports Awards - being held at the Kassam Stadium.

:16:06. > :16:10.He's also presenting our sports round up tonight.

:16:11. > :16:15.Jerome - you're a man in demand this evening.

:16:16. > :16:21.I'm not as in demand as the wine waiters here all the people handing

:16:22. > :16:27.out the awards tonight, because that is what we are going to find out

:16:28. > :16:31.Knight, who has won the 15 awards to celebrate Oxfordshire success in

:16:32. > :16:36.2016. More of that come. We have all sorts of people nominated. But it is

:16:37. > :16:42.with the Olympics that we start our sports tonight. And in Milton Keynes

:16:43. > :16:46.weather suggestion from Badminton England is that the next Olympics

:16:47. > :16:51.will produce a very poor return in terms of medals if funding for the

:16:52. > :16:54.sport not reinstated. Public funding was cut after the last Rio games

:16:55. > :16:57.disbarred despite some success. They want to turn bronze into gold

:16:58. > :17:00.in Tokyo but right now Olympic medallists Marcus Ellis

:17:01. > :17:03.and Chris Language can't They, like all the other players

:17:04. > :17:08.training at the National Badminton Centre, here in Milton Keynes,

:17:38. > :17:42.budget on Badminton, leading up to Badminton has launched

:17:43. > :17:47.an appeal but it still has to prepare for the worst

:17:48. > :17:50.if that appeal fails. We have to prepare for what life

:17:51. > :17:53.without UK Sport funding It's been a very challenging

:17:54. > :18:00.five or six weeks here. We've got a number of staff

:18:01. > :18:06.We've informed the players about what their programme

:18:07. > :18:15.could look like should we not be successful here.

:18:45. > :18:48.These are not luxuries, these are the basic things we need.

:18:49. > :18:50.And then in terms of tournaments, if we are

:18:51. > :18:52.not travelling, playing tournaments our opponents in competition are.
