Prenderanno il via giovedì 6 marzo al Teatro “Lauro Rossi” di Macerata le audizioni live di Musicultura. In questa edizione, coinvolti nella giuria speciale, un gruppo di detenuti della Casa di reclusione di Barcaglione di Ancona grazie al progetto “La casa in riva al mare”, promosso e sostenuto dal Garante regionale dei diritti della persona Giancarlo Giulianelli.
“Il premio La casa in riva al mare ha rappresentato una novità assoluta nel panorama nazionale ed ha dimostrato con successo l’importanza della partecipazione della comunità esterna all’azione rieducativa dei detenuti prevista dall’articolo 17 dell’Ordinamento Penitenziario – afferma Giancarlo Giulianelli – Il progetto è stato inoltre segnalato come best practice del 2024 dal Dipartimento nazionale dell’Amministrazione penitenziaria. È con vero piacere che rinnoviamo la collaborazione con Musicultura 2025, forti di un’accresciuta consapevolezza, di una maggiore conoscenza delle dinamiche carcerarie da parte della comunità e dell’effetto positivo che i percorsi formativi previsti possono avere sull’armonia psicofisica dei detenuti e sulle prospettive di futuro reinserimento nella società”.

Summary of the decision: The Lernacken customs checkpoint beside the Øresund Bridge was visited during an inspection of Swedish Customs. This is an internal border checkpoint, i.e., on the border between EU Member States. It emerged that the driver and any passengers in vehicles subject to a routine search were also subject to a pat-down search, and held in a room comparable with a cell while the vehicle was searched, and that possessions such as mobile phones were temporally seized.

In this enquiry, the Parliamentary Ombudsman has investigated whether Swedish Customs has the necessary legal authority to take such coercive measures when conducting checks at the internal border. The Parliamentary Ombudsman’s conclusion is that this is not the case.

The Parliamentary Ombudsman underlines that Swedish Customs must review how these checks are carried out and ensure that the measures taken are legal. According to the Parliamentary Ombudsman, there is reason to send a copy of the decision to the Government for information.

El Defensor del Pueblo, Ángel Gabilondo, ha asistido este jueves en el Auditorio Nacional de Música en Madrid al XXIII Concierto “In memoriam”, que organiza la Fundación Víctimas del Terrorismo y presiden los Reyes.  

El concierto “In memoriam” se celebra anualmente, en vísperas del 11 de marzo, para rendir homenaje a las 193 víctimas de los atentados perpetrados en Madrid en 2004 y reúne a las principales instituciones del Estado, Gobierno, partidos políticos y distintos estamentos sociales y económicos de la sociedad española. 

Los asistentes, entre los que también se encontraba la adjunta segunda del Defensor del Pueblo, Patricia Bárcena, escucharon obras interpretadas por la Orquesta Sinfónica y Coro de RTVE.

Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman (PHSO) Rebecca Hilsenrath KC is visiting Wolverhampton to hear from MPs, NHS staff, charities and advocacy groups about local issues and discuss how people can get justice when things go wrong in public services.    

The Ombudsman looks into complaints about the NHS in England and services provided by the UK Government and its agencies.   

Over the past year, the Ombudsman has highlighted issues around the Windrush Compensation Scheme, mental health care, Do Not Attempt Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation orders, and communication of changes to women’s State Pensions.   

On Thursday, March 6, Ms Hilsenrath will visit The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust to learn more about the complaints the Trust receives, the way it handles complaints, and how it learns from them to make positive changes. Last year, the Trust won the Patient Experience Network’s Making Complaints Count award for work around learning from complaints about end-of-life care.   

The Ombudsman will also visit the maternity ward to see how staff work on the frontline and hear from patients directly.  

The following day, the Ombudsman will hold a roundtable with two of Wolverhampton’s MPs, Warinder Juss and Sureena Brackenridge, and representatives from organisations including the Department of Work and Pensions, and Healthwatch Wolverhampton who have helped to coordinate the visit.  

There will be workshops for people working in the voluntary, community and social enterprise sector to help them better support people who use their services to effectively make complaints and seek justice when things go wrong in public services.  

Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman Rebecca Hilsenrath KC said: 

My colleagues and I are delighted to be in Wolverhampton to hear directly from people working in the NHS and in the local community about their success stories and the challenges they and the people they serve face with public services.  

 

“When things go wrong in public service, it is important that they are put right for the people affected and that there is learning so that it doesn’t happen again. But neither of these things can happen without people speaking up and making a complaint.  

 

“Complaints can highlight previously unknown issues, bring closure for individuals and improve public services for everyone. They are a powerful tool in holding organisations to account and driving meaningful, positive change. We are here in Wolverhampton to learn and share ideas about how we can help people to feel confident about making complaints when things go wrong. This will lead to lasting change for the benefit of all.”  

Stacey Lewis, Service Manager at Healthwatch Wolverhampton, said:

We welcome the PHSO visit to Wolverhampton, and we are pleased to be part of a day of activity to help more people have a stronger voice in their care. It is a timely event as our local Healthwatch is part of a current campaign encouraging people to Share for Better Care.

 

“The PHSO plays a very important role in using feedback to drive improvements in health and care. This opportunity will not only help to educate and empower those supporting residents to effectively make complaints, but it will allow them to see why health and social care services such as our local hospital trust value their feedback.”
