Even though you have been acquitted of the charge, the law has recently changed to enable the prosecution to request the court consider a restraining order. The purpose of a restraining order is to prevent future conduct causing harassment or fear of violence.

Hotel chilli challenge warms day Find out about mental health THERE will be the opportunity to learn about dementia research at an event tomorrow. The research roadshow is the first of a series being hosted across the country by Alzheimer’ s Society’s research team between now and April 2011. There are 2,895 people with dementia in Newcastle and 750,000 in the UK. The exact causes of dementia are still unknown, there is no cure and the treatments available only slow rather than stop its progression. The research roadshows are the public’ s chance to learn about how the Alzheimer’s Society funds research, hear about ongoing research from a scientist in their area and find out how they can get involved in selecting and monitoring the research that the society funds. Speakers at the Newcastle event will include Dr Elizabeta Mukaetova-Ladinska from Newcastle University, who will be talking about her research into improving diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease through testing blood proteins, and research volunteer Barbara Woodward-Carlton. Alzheimer’s Society’s head of research, Dr Susanne Sorensen, will also be there. Diagnosis of dementia relies predominantly on psychological testing. It is therefore difficult to distinguish between different forms of dementia, particularly in the early stages. There is a pressing need for a simple diagnostic test to detect diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, that cause dementia, before symptoms develop. It will be held at St James’s United Reformed Church, Northumberland Road, Newcastle, from 12.30- 4.30pm.
