"If we as a society, a school or a medical service help children as young as six, seven or eight come to terms with their biological sex - the truth - that would be the kindest thing to do for them, as opposed to forcing a school and all the children in class to believe something that wasn't true. All the medical and psychiatric evidence is showing that we should not be affirming gender confusion in children. That is absolutely objective; we've seen the Tavistock clinic closing because of the very poor outcomes in affirming them." Andrea Williams speaks to Kat Cowan on BBC Radio Sheffield about Nigel and Sally Rowe's case supported by the Christian Legal Centre, the government's guidance for schools for gender-questioning children, and the need for the Church of England to scrap its guidance.

Today, I have the pleasure of welcoming Heather Tingle to the show. She is an award-winning serial entrepreneur, head of three different businesses and a loving mom.  She is the founder of Untangled by Tingle, and her expertise in decluttering and hoarding awareness has been featured on BBC Radio Sheffield and for a national charity. She has been a member of The Association of Professional Declutterers and Organisers (APDO) since 2016 and she is a Director of Hoarding Disorders UK (North).  Heather discovered she was neurodivergent at age 43 after her daughter was diagnosed with autism as well. In this episode, Heather kindly shared details of her everyday life as a person with autism, her struggles at school and how being diagnosed changed her personal and professional life. We talk about the importance of being vulnerable and authentic in our businesses and sharing who we really are.  What You Will Learn In This Episode: - How it was for Heather to grow up without knowing she was autistic - Heather's reaction to her diagnosis, and how that affected her life, business and relationship with her team - How being vulnerable and authentic impacts Heather's business - What can be done differently with how young kids are oriented when they get a diagnosis of autism When Heather got diagnosed, lots of things started to make sense in her head about her childhood. She understood she had to stop punishing herself for something she couldn't do, not because she was incapable but because she was different. Getting a better judgment of how her brain works helped focus on her skills and strengths, and that is one of the main reasons her businesses experienced massive growth and success.  Resources: - Untangled by Tingle website: https://www.untangledbytingle.com/  - Untangled by Tingle Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/untangledbytingle/  - Untangled by Tingle Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UntangledByTingle/  - Untangled by Tingle Community - Facebook free private Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/untangledbytingle/  - #actuallyautism - Twitter hashtag - Lisa Johnson's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCm_uN-tZgFC3_lSFifUZEXw  - Download my FREE Launch Strategy Guide https://www.lisajohnson.com/launch  - Visit my website https://www.lisajohnson.com/  - Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lisajohnsonstrategist/  - Follow me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/lisajohnsonstrategist

This week Roger Bolton explores the role of the BBC's Reality Check correspondent following a series of heated Brexit debates on Today and PM. He turns to a professor of journalism, Justin Lewis, for some impartial guidance on this most incendiary of subjects. In part two of Roger's interview with James Purnell, he asks the BBC's Director of Radio and Education to respond to criticism from older listeners who feel shunned by the Corporation. BBC Radio Sheffield is on the hunt for new local talent, and they're going about it in a rather unusual way. The station's editor, Katrina Bunker, reveals that a new voice will be recruited via X-Factor style auditions in an effort to reach out to local communities. And whodunit? Roger tracks the mystery of the missing episode of a BBC drama, and we hear the bizarre explanation for its absence from the BBC Complaints Unit.

This week: celebrating cultural rituals. Featuring a tale of two fairs, Hull and Loughborough - and their importance to both the people who work, and ride the waltzers. Plus an Australian's first experience of a particular English pastime loved by his girlfriend; Morris dancing. And the Russian delicacy with a secret family recipe, attracting Sheffield fans. Presented and produced by Becca Bryers With contributions from: David Reeves at BBC Radio Humberside Kat Harbourne at BBC Radio Sheffield

High level scrutiny and the need for further savings shines a light on every corner of BBC. This week Roger Bolton is in Sheffield to find out what listeners think about their BBC local radio stations. He speaks to Sheffield listeners and hears how holding local figures to account, local knowledge, companionship and reflecting the local community are key to keeping listeners engaged. But across England, listening figures are in a slow decline. David Holdsworth, who is in charge of all 39 stations, explains why that is and how local radio is moving with the technical times. Is there such a thing as a free lunch? We join 120 lonely older folk at a free fish and chip lunch organised by BBC Radio Sheffield. It was inspired by the late Winnie Blagden, a fan of the station. Having no family, Radio Sheffield asked their listeners if they could send Winnie a card. She received 16,000 - and a pile of chocolates and flowers. And we hear from the BBC Radio Devon's sports department who regularly cover four or five games every Saturday afternoon - and transmit each one of them with individual commentary on an individual transmitter. Presenter: Roger Bolton Producer: Karen Pirie A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.

What can we learn from our rivals? Cardiff Devils, Braehead Clan and Sheffield Steelers had a stonking season in 2014/15 all picking up silverware. This week Clare Freeman asks representatives from all three clubs what the secret is... Peter Spencer from BBC Radio Sheffield, Jon Jones long-term Devils fan and Purple Army Podcast host Ross McGregor all discuss how and what Manchester Storm need to do to make sure the club is guaranteed the same success. #StormComing

Roger Bolton explores religious broadcasting on radio. As the UK becomes more spiritually diverse and increasingly secular, how should the BBC approach religious news and worship? Since its birth in the 1920s, the Corporation has always produced religious content, with programmes focussed primarily on Christian worship during the early days. Ninety years later, the religious makeup of the country is far more diverse and complex, so is the BBC keeping up with the times when it comes to spiritual matters? We ask listeners whether they think religion still has a place on the BBC, and how a national broadcaster should reflect faith and worship across different religions. For some Feedback listeners, religious output is extremely important - for others, it is outdated and inappropriate. Roger discusses these views with Religious Affairs correspondent Caroline Wyatt, Editor for Religion and Ethics in BBC Regions, Ashley Peatfield, and Head of Radio for BBC Religion and Ethics, Christine Morgan. The subject of Religion is not just confined to specialist programming. Outside of people's personal worship, religion plays a significant role in social and political affairs both on the international and domestic stage. So how well does the BBC tackle religion when it comes to news and current affairs? Islam is the fastest growing religion in the UK, but while coverage and debate around the Islamic faith is fairly common on Radio 4, Muslim worship is rarely heard. So how well does wider BBC Radio serve its Muslim listeners? Feedback visits BBC Radio Sheffield, which runs Ramadan programmes during the Holy month. Producer: Karen Pirie A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.
