mr allan — who co—founded the ‘innovation ofjustice' campaign — has been telling louise minchin on bbc there are sort of reservations about it and there are a few concerns in terms of it working for victims charities. but considering my case and how valuable it was that the evidence was actually on the complainant's phone, it is so much more valuable than people realise. it can be so much more valuable to prosecution cases as well as defence cases. for me, it is a good step in the right direction. but i can understand why people are a bit concerned with it. i don't think it is fair to go through something, seven years worth of information, if it was only an accusation across a year period. that doesn't make any sense because that is an invasion of privacy. but there are certain things that are related to cases that are going to be in there, on either phone. so both phones should be taken. it is notjust one of the other, it should be both. oh, so both the victim and the alleged perpetrator as well. you mentioned the concerns because there are lots of various different concerns, includin

speaking to louise minchin on bbc breakfast, he said that, ten years on from his son's death, the crisisting worse every day and i think yesterday, these four random stabbings of people in the back, is perhaps another worrying trend. so, no, this is serious. i am no less determined that i was when my son was killed to try and bring some change, but very, very worrying times. and i know you are going to be part of this summit today. we have heard sajid javid, the home secretary, talking about this being a public health duty, he is talking about doctors, perhaps nurses, teachers as well, to intervene earlier in the lives of children. is that the right route, do you think? i think there is a place in this for every one of us. itjust seems such a shame that we got to go to legislation to make people come forward with information, but we also then go down the line of perhaps blaming other people for the issues that are going on, where it is the perpetrators themselves that are causing this. so, for me, more and more involvement with the community i believe is the way forward. ten—year program
