Coming up: The mother jailed for manslaughter after her baby

A report says social workers couldn't have prevented the death.

If there is one thing that we can do in her memory is to improve the

services in a way that the independent authors have suggested

that we should. Why pupils made a video about

the dangers of sharing information. The death of a toddler -

who was left in the bath by her mother - couldn't have been

prevented by social workers, The findings come despite social

services having an official protection plan for the child

who died in Grove in 2014. Jasmine Gregory, seen

here in the hooded coat, is serving a three year sentence

for the manslaughter of her daughter, Robyn,

who drowned in the bath in Grove A serious case review investigated

whether professionals could have Today's report talks

about an immature mother While the report says that the death

of this baby could not have been prevented by any of the bodies

in the building behind me, It suggests that some

of the administrative processes, particularly in risk

assessments, were inadequate. It talks about the communication

between agencies and how that Despite the review's

findings to the contrary, one charity believes more effective

communication and intervention from professionals

could have saved Robyn - who is known as Child Q -

in the report. This is a tragic example

where clearly opportunities were missed to safeguard Baby Q,

and I think our view at the NSPCC is that there is further work that

needs to be understood in relation to the complexities of neglect,

and what needs to be done to ensure that children in the circumstances

are adequately safeguarded This family was known

to social workers. At one point the baby was taken

into emergency foster care. In another instance,

Robyn was strapped into her pram for a day while her mum

was at the pub. You must get a careful balance

between supporting the parent, where they are not appropriately

parenting their child, challenging them if they do not

improve sufficiently, and, if necessary, intervening,

if that improvement does not meet the threshold that would lead

you to be assured of The council has already made

improvements to identify and support those at risk of neglect in light

of the review's findings. Children's services

in Buckinghamshire are steadily improving -

according to Ofsted. The department was rated

"inadequate" in 2014. After the latest visit,

inspectors found social work had In a statement the council conceded

there was still more work to do. Police investigating the theft

of ?100,000 worth of computer equipment have released a picture

of a man they believe can help. Up to five men stole MacBook

computers from a firm in Bletchley. Officers believe it

happened between the 22nd A group of pupils from Oxfordshire

have been recognised by Thames Valley Police for a video

they made on online safety. The project was part

of a competition run by the police to raise awareness of the dangers

faced by children sharing We tweet, we stream,

we vlog, we blog. We Instagram, Facebook,

like, share and comment. But just how safe is

this virtual world? It's a question asked

to students here at St Helen We made this video to help you stay

safe on the Internet. The video shows a girl

inviting someone she thought she knew to her party,

but her plans spiralled out of control when her home address

was shared with hundreds It's one of the real

dangers that they may face. We have to celebrate

what they can do with And the tremendous

power that it has. But, it is a risk factor and we had

to share that with them and help them develop maturity to make good

decisions, and be decent The lessons are welcomed here

at the Oxford Internet Institute where research shows the real life

pressures of our virtual world. One of the things that most

concerns me at the moment is around the use of things like texting

and mobile phones for the exchange It is a new risk and not one

we are dealing with, and it is more of a worry

that they may see adult content online and make it,

and exchange it with your peers. Back in the classroom

lessons continue to tackle the dangers of life online...

So what if you are a parent and want to have a conversation

with your children about Be aware of technology

and make sure your child Make sure your children are open

and share their accounts Ask children how things

work which helps. Let them show it to you and

what they can do on it. Then you have more of

an understanding with it and can A Swindon MP is hoping to use

the town as an example of how to spend proceeds

from the new Sugar Tax towards getting inactive

children into sport. Justin Tomlinson thinks the approach

used by this Swindon after-school sports camp could hold

the key to success. He called a special commons

debate this afternoon, saying such clubs could help

cut childhood obesity. I would also like to see all school

facilities made available for free between the hours

of 4pm and 6pm to any organisation that is doing it

as So if some parents get

together and say, we wish to put on a netball club,

football club or basketball club, I don't mind, as long as it is

a constructive activity for young From David Bowie to Adele,

it seems a surge in record sales is giving businesses

in Oxfordshire a boost. 2016 saw the highest sales

of vinyl for 25 years. Katharine Da Costa has been to meet

some of the businesses cashing in. I really like live recordings

because they're on a good system, they're so much more realistic

and you can hear all the little For collectors and enthusiasts,

vinyl's never really gone out of fashion -

but it's not since the early 90s that record sales

have fared so well. And for this distribution company

in Didcot, demand for high spec turn tables has doubled

in the last five years. When you download an MP3,

your physical interaction with it is through your phone,

which you do a myriad Vinyl makes music a special

experience that you can really enjoy, and the more that you commit

to it, there is the associated sound benefits that come with it as well,

you can enjoy it in much higher Over the last 10 years sales

have grown by 1,500%. However a recent survey

found nearly half - We've got things like the first

printing of Led Zeppelin which is worth about ?100 -

in mint condition things The Music Box in Wallingford

first opened in 1959, when all the latest hits

were played on vinyl. But with the rise of

the digital age and streaming, many of the specialist record shops

- including Wallingford's - back in a million years,

let alone selling records, vinyl. Now in a new permanent

town centre location, I must admit in the last

year it's gone crazy, people want something physical -

they don't want to pay for something They want something they can hold,

like the artwork and the sleeve. Just listen to it, and the whole

concept of an album. I find with vinyl, it sounds so much

better than downloads or CDs. When you buy limited edition ones,

you open it up and you find out It is great just going

through the records and you find something a bit odd or a bit

strange, and you can There is definitely

a social thing to it. Vinyl sales may still be dwarfed

by streaming and digital downloads, but music fans say it's

the nostalgia of rediscovering the old classics hidden

in the bargin bins that keeps them An Oscar winning sound designer

and re-recording mixer from Wheatley near Oxford has been nominated

for a BAFTA. Niv Adiri won an Academy Award

in 2014 for his work His BAFTA nomination

is for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them -

a spin off from the He'll find out if he's

won on February 12th. Maybe there'll be another

Oscar nomination too. Good evening, we are looking at a

lot of club tonight, some clear spells here and there and the chance

of patchy and light rain and drizzle, with thickening cloud. A

lot of places stay dry during the early hours and temperatures fall

away to seven or 8 degrees, a mild night to come. It will be a cloudy

and dump start tomorrow, mist and fog clears. We expect sunny spells,

isolated showers, dry weather and an increasing north-westerly breeze

which will take the edge of temperatures. 10 degrees is the high

but feeling more like seven or 8 degrees with the cold,

north-westerly breeze. All eyes are looking ahead to Thursday where

there is the potential for slow. Especially over the Cotswolds and

Chilterns. Uncertainty surrounding the northern extent of this band or

rain moving from west to east on Thursday daytime, it might produce

no even at lower levels. But we aren't expecting too much to settle,

not a huge or significant amount of snowfall but stay tuned to the

forecast. Looking ahead, tomorrow there's a cloudy start, bright

spells and the chance of patchy and light rain. A risk of snowfall on

weekend as well. For more on that snow situation, over to Jay Wynne
