Spain鈥檚 Equality Ministry launches a campaign 'All Bodies are Beach Bodies'.
We talk to journalist Fiona Govan based in Madrid who writes for Olive Press about the controversy surrounding a new ad campaign in Spain proclaiming 鈥淎ll Bodies are Beach Bodies鈥. Posters including women of all shapes and sizes, including women with mastectomies with a slogan 鈥淪ummer Belongs to Us too.鈥 Helpful messaging? Or 鈥渁bsurd鈥 as some opposition politicians claim which is creating 鈥渁 problem where it doesn鈥檛 exist鈥.
Should children who misbehave be excluded permanently from school? Recently, Southwark Council in London hit the headlines when it urged its headteachers to sign up to an 鈥業nclusion Charter鈥 to avoid school exclusions. Some campaigners argue that excluding troubled children leaves them vulnerable to exploitation and puts them at risk of becoming part of a world of crime. Others say that it is necessary to exclude pupils who are disrupting the education of others or pose a danger to staff and other children. Anita is joined by Louisa McGeehan, chief executive of Just for Kids Law, a legal charity for children and young people; Tom Bennett, School Behaviour Advisor to the Department for Education, and Sarah Hewitt-Clarkson, headteacher of Anderton Park Primary School in Birmingham.
We talk to Namulanta Kombo about her award winning podcast 鈥淒ear Daughter鈥 which started with her idea of writing letters to her young daughter with advice for life.
And the writer and comedian Helen Wood who wrote shows such as 鈥楾he Usherettes鈥 and 鈥楾he National Trust Fan Club鈥 tells us about her latest production 鈥楲et鈥檚 Talk About Philip鈥 which explores the the mystery and secret surrounding her brother鈥檚 death 32 years ago.
