BBC Panorama in Nottingham

Families of victims from the Nottingham knife attack have criticized the BBC for airing a Panorama documentary featuring interviews with the killer's family without consulting them. Emma Webber, whose son Barnaby was killed, expressed feelings of 'unimaginable horror' and disappointment over the lack of communication regarding the program, titled 'The Nottingham Attacks: A Search for Answers', which examines the mental health of killer Valdo Calocane. The families argue that the BBC has caused them additional trauma by highlighting the killer's narrative while neglecting their voices. Health Secretary Wes Streeting has also raised concerns about the BBC's handling of the situation, urging more sensitivity towards the victims' families. The documentary, focusing on the mental health failings surrounding Calocane's case, has been defended by the BBC as being in the public interest. However, Webber and other families feel let down and believe the BBC has failed in its duty of care.
