    Former Public Health Minister, Caroline Flint (pictured right above) launched The Family Moving On Together (MOT) programme today.

    The new scheme is an eight week support programme for Doncaster families with young children aged between eight and 18 years old, where one of both parents or carers have experienced or are still living with substance misuse.

    Don Valley MP Caroline Flint said: “This is an essential service supporting not only the person affected by the drugs or alcohol, but their family and children. Across Britain there are 2.5 million children of alcoholics and it’s vital that this service is in place to support families and allow them to talk openly in a safe space.”

    Nine people have been arrested under new control measures introduced by police in Doncaster last week.

    The Public Spaces Protection Order, which has been applied to the town centre, aims to reduce the amount of aggressive begging and nuisance behaviour.

    This order has already seen more than nine arrests for offences including, failing to appear at court, breaching a court order and possession of a controlled drug.

    In addition, eight dispersal orders have been issued and vulnerable members of the public have been referred to the relevant support agencies.

    Insp Lynne Lancaster said: “I hope our local community will see the improvements made to the town centre through the implementation of the PSPO and I would like to offer my reassurance that this work will now continue.”

    Jade Martina McCarthy, 27, of Pickering Road, Bentley, used to work as a prison officer for HMP Doncaster in 2015.

    McCarthy was reported to the South Yorkshire Police's Prison Investigation Team after colleagues grew suspicious she was having a relationship with a serving prisoner.

    Following the report, McCarthy was then arrested in November 2015 and a blister pack of Tramadol was found in her handbag within the prison.

    Police also searched McCarthy's home and discovered a number of mobile phones wrapped in clingfilm and a nude photograph of the inmate on her phone.

    Appearing at Sheffield Crown Court today, McCarthy pleaded guilty to two counts of misconduct in a public office and one count of conveying a Last A article into prison.

    Quote Message

    As a prison officer, the public quite rightly expect a high standard of behaviour and McCarthy did not conduct herself in a professional, ethical or legal manner at all. She now faces time behind bars to consider the consequences of her criminal behaviour."
