I asked CoPilot about the West Mids Police story and its involvement and it gave me this "AI can be a useful assistant, but it should never replace verification, especially in high‑stakes contexts."

I am delighted to be working with Dee Cowburn to consider this often overlooked aspect of crisis communication. If you want to find out more about the offer get in touch.

For many this is the first day back at work after a festive break. If that is you then be kind to yourself and find the positives in the day. We can't always make the changes we may want to but we can change how we respond to situations.

This is a situation for all responders to consider. Providing support, information and sensitively handing victim identification in such a large scale. My heart goes out to the families and loved ones affected.
