Today's Video Focus: MPs have joined calls for the Jeremy Kyle Show to be taken off air for
good, after the death of a man shortly after he appeared on the
programme.
Steven Dymond was found dead last week, following a recording. Police
said his death was not being treated as suspicious. In an internal
email, the ITV boss Dame Carolyn McCall said the decision to suspend the
show was "the best way" to protect it and its staff. But Downing Street
said broadcasters and production companies had a responsibility towards
the mental health and wellbeing of participants and viewers.
Focus of the Day Article:
A new campaign, #SupportingSolicitors, has been launched to promote the help available to solicitors facing professional and personal challenges. It goes live today at the start of Mental Health Awareness Week. It
has been put together jointly by the Law Society, the Solicitors
Regulation Authority, wellbeing charity LawCare, SBA The Solicitors’
Charity – which supports those in serious financial need with grants –
and the Solicitors Assistance Scheme, a service best known for helping
those facing disciplinary and regulatory issues.
