Spent the morning so far responding to idiotic emails from the police as they try to explain what happened with the VRR.
It seems that a chasing email sent at the end of October vanished in the ether and wasn’t seen by the officer it was addressed to. Because they didn’t see it they didn’t chase the issues up that it highlighted.
This morning, two months since submitting the VRR and basically a month past when it should have been adjudicated on, I received an email from the DCI who allocated it to a DI for review saying that the DI it was referred to was confused as they’d been allocated two cases in quick succession which is unusual.
It seems that screwed up internal monitoring and/or confused the officer so much that they did nothing case.
The DCI has reallocated the file to another officer today.
I’ve expressed surprise and concern about vanishing emails and asked for clarification on whether the officer was confused by two cases being referred to him in quick succession or if it was internal monitoring of cases that was confused. I’ve also pointed out that clearly neither answer is a good one but that it’s nice to know.
I did of course repeat my appreciation for the fact that the police are understaffed and overworked etc.
My final line was a little catty perhaps, but I did point out that in order to avoid further confusion, spelling my name correctly in communications might be useful.

She’s hasn’t had a very smooth ride with this pregnancy. Just two months ago the baby was small and they thought she didn’t have a stomach, turned out because she was so small they couldn’t see it. Daughter was going for extra scans anyways as Zara was premature, at her growth scan last week they said the baby was too big, hence the diabetes glucose test she had done on Wednesday, they called her first thing yesterday morning to give her the news. They have said not to worry about it at the moment and the diabetes team will call later. They never! They didn’t say anything about her mother not worrying though. I’m devastated TBF, it puts her at risk of developing Type 2 later in life not to mention the risks to the baby, pre eclampsia, high BP and having the baby early either by inducing her or Caesarean not to mention the baby being large, daughter is barely over 5ft. I know I’m probably over catastrophizing and imaging all the worst case scenarios but I’m so worried. I’ve been Googling NHS and DUK and the advice is swap to brown bread, pasta, rice etc! Oh dear! Hopefully they’ll call her today with a treatment plan, they didn’t give any numbers but did tell her her BGs were high before the glucose drink! What a bad time of year to be diagnosed, she has her works Christmas party tonight, plus all the treats everywhere, and how can she exercise when she works four full days a week, it’s winter and she has a toddler! Hopefully I’ll feel better once the team has spoken to her, as usual, daughter is being stoic about it all.
