    Whilst reading a June copy of Private Eye I came across the list of candidates for the award.

    I have just looked up the result. The award went to Alexandra Heal of the Bureau of Investigative Journalism for her work on members of police forces NOT being investigated when domestic abuse complaints are made against them. She looked at 43 cases.

    'Alexandra won the award with her project titled ‘Nowhere to Turn,’ a series uncovering the shocking stories of how police forces handle domestic abuse complaints against their own officers.

    The Paul Foot Award was set up in memory of revered investigative journalist Paul Foot, who died in 2004.

    Alexandra was presented with the award in an online ceremony with Private Eye’s editor, Ian Hislop.'
