Game Changer Julie Bailey
In 2007, after Julie Bailey鈥檚 mother Bella died at Stafford Hospital, appalled at what her mother went through, Julie went on to expose the failings at the hospital and set up Cure The NHS. Her 鈥榳histleblowing鈥 led to a public inquiry by Robert Francis QC which uncovered cases of neglect and abuse at Stafford Hospital. This eventually resulted in new rules and regulations being introduced into the NHS to ensure higher standards of care. But she faced a torrent of personal and online abuse, and last year was forced to sell her business and move away from Stafford. On Woman鈥檚 Hour two weeks ago Julie Bailey was chosen as the second of the ten most significant of Woman鈥檚 Hour Game Changers for her courage and resilience in daring to speak out, and because she has 鈥渃hanged the game for the care of older people鈥.
Telling Off Children
Research from the Centre for Economic Performance at the LSE has suggested that excessive shouting, punishing or ignoring naughty children increases their behavioural problems. But is speaking to children in anger or frustration always counter-productive? What other factors might influence a child鈥檚 behaviour? And is it either practical or healthy to protect your children from a normal range of emotions when they will encounter them out in the wider world? Jenni talks to Laure de Preux Gallone,听Researcher听at Imperial College London听and听the Centre for Economic Performance and to Rowan Pelling, columnist for the Daily Telegraph.
Mrs Moneypenny
How much money do you think you will need in your lifetime, and how do you make sure you get it?听 Mrs Moneypenny, aka Heather McGregor, has the answers.听 Her new book Mrs Moneypenny鈥檚 Financial Advice for Independent Women explains why women need more financial knowledge than men, and how to find it. She joins me to explore how women can find new, easy ways to think about their money and take control of their lives.
Dame Freya Stark
Fascinated by the Orient from a young age, Freya Stark decided to learn Arabic and Persian to aid her on her travels. She often travelled in dangerous terrains and was one of the first non-Arabians to travel through the southern Arabian deserts. In 1976, in an interview with June Knox- Mower, , she spoke about her experiences of solo travel through the Middle East. And British travel author and biographer, Sara Wheeler, who has written the new preface to Stark鈥檚 The Southern Gates of Arabia joins Jenni to discuss how Freya Stark influenced female travel writers.
