Police Stations and interviews can feel like a very hostile environment for an individual. They might have never been inside a police station before, having never been arrested or held in custody. Perhaps they don’t feel able to answer questions, but do have a defence or partial defence they want to place on record. Prepared statements can be prepared prior to attending the police station. In some circumstances, they can be drawn up in our offices rather than in the high-pressured environment of the police station. If you would like expert legal advice to explore options available to you during a police interview, then please contact our team via our website or by calling us on 0207 936 6329. #Solicitors #PoliceStation #Statement #CriminalDefence

CQC Update: Improving The Assessment Approach The Care Quality Commission (CQC) is making urgent changes to its assessment approach to deliver more timely, high-quality evaluations of care services. ▫️ Why? The current scoring system is too slow and overly complex, delaying assessments and limiting the ability to provide an up-to-date view of quality for the public and providers. ▫️ What’s Changing? Starting 2 December, CQC will stop scoring at the evidence category level and instead focus on scoring at the quality statement level, enabling faster and more streamlined assessments. ▫️ What’s Next? Looking ahead to early 2025, CQC are planning further improvements, including: 🔹 Clearer Quality Descriptions: Providing detailed clarity on what they look for under each rating level. 🔹 New Guidance Handbook: A dedicated resource to support providers in understanding expectations. 🔹 Enhanced Professional Judgment: Developing tools to ensure consistent, experience-based ratings. Smarter Scoring: Stopping the use of existing ratings to produce new scores and refining how selected quality statements are used to create accurate ratings. These changes will be developed in partnership with providers and the public, with planned consultations to ensure transparency and effectiveness. ▫️ Action: Find out more about these changes and how they support quality care: https://lnkd.in/ewgXQvQV #HealthAndSocialCare #CQC #QualityImprovement #BetterCare

🤔 Don't assume a phone call is authentic just because they know your name. #CourierFraud often targets vulnerable and elderly people via calls to their landline or mobile telephones from withheld numbers from someone purporting to be a police officer or figure of authority. The criminal then proceeds to inform the victim of fraudulent activity on their bank account and sometimes claims that their bank staff are involved to deter them from contacting the bank another way. The criminal then often directs the victim to attend their local bank to withdraw a large amount of cash and to return home where it will be collected by a police courier for examination – who is actually a criminal associate. Alternatively, the criminal asks the victim to handover their bank card and personal information to that same courier. Work at the #NEROCU continues to pursue fraudsters and bring them to justice, but officers are also determined to make sure the public feel confident and capable of challenging scammers to help catch them in the act and report them in real time. We want to empower victims and raise awareness of the complex scams being used to dupe people out of their hard earned cash. No reputable organisation will mind if you take your time, challenge them, or ask for proof and hang up. If in doubt, speak to someone you trust, drop into your local bank or call the number given on your official bank statement. If you’re sent a link by text or email don’t click it, report it. 📲 For help and advice visit the #ActionFraud website. If you need to report a crime or suspicious activity please speak to your local police force.
