It assesses the risks that are most likely to happen and the impact these would have across the county. The risk assessments included in the register only cover non-malicious events (i.e. hazards) rather than threats (i.e. terrorist incidents). Specific information about threats is not detailed in a CRR. The CRR focuses on serious emergencies. An emergency is defined as: RISK IDENTIFICATION • an event or situation which threatens Some risks are more obvious than others. There serious damage to human welfare in a are several main categories: natural events, human place in the United Kingdom diseases, animal diseases, major accidents and • an event or situation which threatens malicious attacks. serious damage to the environment of a place in the United Kingdom RISK ANALYSIS • war or terrorism which threatens serious Each entry in the CRR has a lead organisation damage to the security of the United responsible for co-ordinating the risk assessment.

To understand why some risks are more significant in Sussex, we need to look at the profile of the area including social, economic and geographical factors. These factors also influence how we can prepare for and manage emergencies in the county.

Tolkien transmit to us through examining them, and possibly others certain records, or extracts from such records, like them, a limited kind of archaeological which survived as preserved in the Shire, in the “fieldwork” can be carried out.

  • Surrey and Sussex Judicial Business Group – Consultation on the Future of Listing Youth Cases for Sussex
    Surrey and Sussex Judicial Business Group – Consultation on the future of listing youth cases for Sussex Katy Bourne, Sussex Police & Crime Commissioner, welcomes the opportunity to comment on the future of listing youth cases for Sussex and would like to make the following response in relation to the three questions. Are you in favour of maintaining the current arrangements for youth court locations across Sussex with some amendments to the listing patterns to improve efficiency by reducing frequency of sessions? The Commissioner is supportive of maintaining the current arrangements for youth court locations across Sussex as a short-term measure. Mrs Bourne recognises that, with the exception of the forthcoming courthouse closures at Chichester and Eastbourne, this option preserves local justice by retaining access to youth courts with reasonable travelling distances for the majority of youth casework. This may also be the most appropriate interim option available until video enabled justice can be considered for all cases. However, this approach will require the development of more video locations to enable cases to be heard virtually. In addition, the Commissioner acknowledges that this approach is more compatible for those victims wishing to attend first hearings and sentencing hearings to read out victim personal statements. This remains a better option for defendants, witnesses, representatives and support services too. Are you in favour of Option 2, which proposes youth remand courts to be centralised at Worthing for work from West Sussex and at Hastings Youth Court for work from East Sussex? Mrs Bourne recognises that this option demonstrates clear benefits for court efficiencies in terms of listing and utilisation and would improve specialism through regular practice.

A version of this article was delivered as an oral presentation, entitled ‘In the footsteps of Quintus Caecilius: visiting Roman Britain with the Cambridge Latin Course’, at the American Classical League Centennial Institute in New York in June 2019. The article provides an overview of the sites, attempts to situate them in the geography and history of Roman Britain, and considers how such knowledge might be of benefit to teachers and learners.
