The installation of CCTV cameras in childcare centres has been proposed as a response to reports of child sexual abuse, amid calls from politicians and providers for immediate action. G8 and Affinity, two of the largest for-profit providers, announced plans to implement or fast track CCTV installations in their centres, where a worker faces over 70 allegations of abuse. Goodstart, the largest not-for-profit provider, has already been equipping new centres with cameras since 2022.
CCTV images have been released by Dorset Police as they investigate a mass brawl on Bournemouth beach that left a teenage girl and several police officers injured on Monday evening. The authorities received reports about the incident just before 7:30 PM and dispatched officers to the location. Though the injuries were not serious, a 22-year-old man has been arrested for assaulting an emergency worker, while an 18-year-old from Hackney is in custody on several charges.
"It was shocking to see the CCTV footage. They were with their daughter but they're not ashamed. They weren't booked and they just came and said they needed something to eat so we happily showed them a table."
CCTV footage captured a 'wannabe boy racer' performing dangerous doughnuts near Buckingham Palace, prompting Westminster City Council to issue fixed penalty notices for antisocial driving.
