Was just thinking this and commented below. They'll never add CCTV because of the liability implications. They are underfunded and understaffed so the trust's would go broke pretty quickly imo
There are cameras in some places, though. There has been footage shown of handicapped people being abused by staff in several institutions.

Mostly it's when members of the family put secret cameras or once the police commence an investigation an institution will cooperate with handing over any CCTV.

Low morale of workers is the result of "negative selection".
Hard work and low pay is simply not attractive.
Add absence of proper supervision and one has a disaster in waiting.

Besides, constant stress when dealing with suffering causes burnout and indifference.

True, and yet nursing is sometimes a matter of life or death. Maybe nurses would be less indifferent if they knew they were being watched.

I wouldn't mind having a camera in classroom.
Maybe it would make some parents realize how their "saintly kids" behave outside home.

You know:
"He/she is such a good child at home".

There was an awful case in England in 2010, in which a tetraplegic man had a camera installed, because he was concerned about the care he had been receiving. Within days, the camera captured the moment the nurse switched off the ventilator (accidentally), leaving him brain-damaged. I remember they showed the footage on the news - very disturbing.

I would not have wanted a camera back in the days when I was a librarian in an art college, allowing the students to have extra books, etc. :)

That is why a poet in my country
Jan Kochanowski (XVIth century)

wrote:

TO HEALTH

Health, You are grand -
though none understand
how splendid you taste
until you are waste:

Then people do grit
their teeth and admit
(when well-being stops)
that Health is the tops!

Nothing stands nearer,
nothing is dearer:
All of man's measures,
pearls and treasures,

also young faces,
beauty and graces,
highest positions,
powerful missions,

are surely alluring -
but health is assuring:
Once it succumbs,
the world is the dumps!

Health, precious jewel,
my house and my gruel
are Yours to enfold,
to love and to hold!

Auld, William

I hope that they have made a decision on the verdict but just wanted the weekend to think it over before bringing it to the judge.

Setting off for Hull shortly for son’s graduation (woot) so will check for any updates as and when.

It’ll also be my last visit to Libby’s (Squire) bench :(

That's my thinking too. Hoping for a verdict today

I'm going for another prediction...verdict tomorrow or if not Judge may speak to them Friday morning about majority verdict

I have this weird feeling that the jurors will send a note to the judge about something today---a question, or a request, or something. ....

I feel a verdict should come soon. If it hasn't come by the end of Wednesday I think it's a bit worrying. In the sense that it suggests that a unanimous verdict is unlikely or difficult to come by.

My heart dropped when I read the first line of my notification! Hopefully juror illness and nothing else.
