  • Guidance on the Use of the Inherent Jurisdiction (Including Wardship) of the High Court to Protect Vulnerable Children
    Guidance on the use of the inherent jurisdiction (including wardship) of the High Court to protect vulnerable children This guidance note should be used where protection of vulnerable children cannot be achieved by other means. Including cases where the following or known or suspected • Radicalisation and risk of leaving the jurisdiction • Sexual exploitation • FGM • Forced marriage Other remedies already exist in relation to 2-4 and these should be considered first: 1 • *Sexual Risk Orders 2 • FGM protection orders • Forced Marriage Protection Orders *Sexual Risk Orders (SROs) are not the only protective order pursuant to the Sexual Offences Act 2003. The CPS, Chief Constable or National Crime Agency (NCA) can make these applications so it would be a matter for these organisations as to whether that would be progressed. 1 https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/442151/2015-07- 03_FINAL_Guidance_Part_2_SOA_2003.pdf 2 https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/416323/Fact_sheet_- _FGM_-_Act.pdf Guidance on the use of the inherent jurisdiction (including wardship) of the High 1 Court to protect vulnerable children – February 2016 v1_01 The Inherent Jurisdiction (IJ) of the High court enables the court to exercise wide ranging powers to protect individual children. It does not enable protection of a group of children, only those who are subject of the application. The court's wardship jurisdiction is part of and not separate from the court's inherent jurisdiction. The distinguishing characteristics of wardship are that – a) custody of a child who is a ward is vested in the court; and b) although day to day care and control of the ward is given to an individual or to a local authority, no important step can be taken in the child's life without the court's consent.

  • Wiltshire Police Chiefs Get Plain View of Crime and Security Issues
    Wiltshire police chiefs get Plain view of crime and security issues Wiltshire police chiefs got a bird’s eye view of Salisbury Plain Training Area (SPTA) as Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) staff gave them the low-down on crime and security issues. Police and Crime Commissioner for Wiltshire Angus Macpherson and Assistant Chief Constable Steve Hedley, were given the rare opportunity of viewing the Plain from the air when they visited the training area. The visit gave Commander Defence Training Estate (DTE) South West Lt Col Mark Hiskett and his team the opportunity to discuss some of the issues and challenges around security, access and crime faced on SPTA and bordering Garrisons. Commenting on the visit, Lt Col Hiskett said: “DIO’s priority is to support our Armed Forces as they prepare for operations. We’re pleased to offer the Police and Crime Commissioner for Wiltshire and the Assistant Chief Constable the opportunity to see the exceptional military training facilities here at Salisbury Plain. “We also shared some of our prime safety and policing issues and I am confident that we will be able to work together in partnership with Wiltshire Constabulary to address these issues in the future.” He added that although DIO’s top priority was to meet military training needs, the organization also had a responsibility to ensure that the archaeological and historical value of Salisbury Plain was maintained. This meeting had enabled DIO to demonstrate its work managing the Plain sustainably. The day began with an introduction to DTE South West and SPTA by Lt Col Hiskett, followed by briefings on dry training, live firing, Garrison Policing issues and public access and security on the Plain.

I am sure the new force will be a worthy successor to its predecessor. I would like to thank the members of the former and new authorities for their support and the officers of the County and the former County Borough for their wholehearted co-operation. I am, Ladies and Gentlemen Your obedient servant J. C_ NIGHTINGALE Chiel' Constable 3 INTRODUCTION On 31 March 1974 the brief five year life of the Essex & Southend-on-Sea Joint Constabulary came to an end. On 1 April it was succeeded by the Essex Police which has precisely the same area of jurisdiction. All officers serving in the Joint Constabulary were transf~rred to the new force. The strength of the force increased by 52 during 1974, a smaller rate of growth than in recent years. This gives some cause for concern but present indications are that more recruits will be coming forward in 1975. During 1974 the crime rate increased by 20% over the previous year. This is the highest increase recorded in Essex in a single year but the problem is shared by other forces. It is difficult to be specific about causes; there seems to be some evidence of a collapse of social morality and a total lack of respect for authority but this is only speculation.
