Nottinghamshire

Nottinghamshire is a county in the East Midlands of England. Recent news focuses on events within or connected to the county. Firstly, a public inquiry is examining the decision not to section Valdo Calocane, the Nottingham triple killer, before the attacks. The inquiry is exploring whether racial bias influenced mental health professionals' assessment. Secondly, Natalie Fleet, the Labour MP for Bolsover (Derbyshire, but relevant due to proximity and regional impact), is advocating for judge-only trials to better protect victims of sexual assault. Finally, while not directly in Nottinghamshire, the broader Great Britain context of new parental leave rights for bereaved parents is relevant, highlighting a father's advocacy following the death of his partner after childbirth. These events underscore ongoing concerns about mental health services, criminal justice reform, and support for bereaved families within the region and nationally.
