Podcasts about Young Lives

We discuss the key recommendations of Baroness Louise Casey's report into child sexual exploitation and abuse, and ask what might change as a result? Nuala McGovern is joined by guests including BBC social affairs editor Alison Holt, social worker-turned-whistleblower Jayne Senior and documentary director Anna Hall, who has spent the past two decades covering the subject of grooming gangs. Comedian, actor and writer Rosie Jones joins Nuala to discuss her first sitcom, Pushers, which she stars in and co-wrote. She plays Emily in the Channel 4 show, who has very little left to lose after having her disability benefits cut when she loses her job - she finds herself building an illegal drugs empire. Emily isn't your average street-dealer though - she's sharp, funny, highly educated and has cerebral palsy. What better disguise could there be for criminal activity than to be entirely written off by society? Children are not playing outside enough, according to a new report by the Raising the Nation Play Commission, but instead are "sedentary, scrolling and alone". Nineteen commissioners, from doctors to campaigners, spent a year investigating play and childhood in England for the report. Among their recommendations are raising the digital age of consent to 16 and putting in place a statutory "play sufficiency duty" for local authorities. Joining Nuala to discuss this are Baroness Anne Longfield, executive chair of Centre for Young Lives and co-leader of the commission, and Debbie Watson, Professor of Child and Family Welfare at the University of Bristol.

My guest on this week's Book Club podcast is the historian Alice Loxton, whose new book is Eighteen: A History of Britain in 18 Young Lives. In it, she tells the story of young individuals as disparate as the Venerable Bede and Vivienne Westwood. On the podcast, she explains how she selected which characters to include and why – in a post-Rest is History world, where history is more exciting and accessible than ever – there is still a place for the fusty old historians. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

My guest on this week's Book Club podcast is the historian Alice Loxton, whose new book Eighteen: A History of Britain in 18 Young Lives is just out in paperback. In it, she tells the story of the early lives of individuals as disparate as the Venerable Bede and Vivienne Westwood. On the podcast, Alice tells me about Geoffrey Chaucer's racy past, what Bede was like before he was venerable, and why her editor wouldn't let her take her characters to Pizza Express. She also reassures me that – in a post-Rest is History world, where history is more exciting and accessible than ever – there is still a place for the fusty old historians. Hosted on Acast.

Rory McGowan is joined by Michael Follett, Founder & Director of OPAL and an Internationla Play Consultant.  They've found some new research that shows widespread support from the public for UK schools to change their policies and adopt an always active uniform. The Alliance, founded by Outdoor Play and Learning, the Youth Sport Trust, Play England, and the Centre for Young Lives claims traditional uniforms restrict movement, limit opportunities for active play, and don't reflect the needs of modern learning environments. https://outdoorplayandlearning.org.uk/

The real Brexit betrayal: Starmer vs the workers ‘This week Starmer fell… into the embrace of Ursula von der Leyen' writes Michael Gove in our cover article this week. He writes that this week's agreement with the EU perpetuates the failure to understand Brexit's opportunities, and that Labour ‘doesn't, or at least shouldn't exist to make the lives of the fortunate more favourable'. Michael makes the argument that ‘the real Brexit betrayal' is Labour's failure to understand how Brexit can protect British jobs and industries and save our manufacturing sector. Historian of the Labour Party Dr Richard Johnson, a politics lecturer at Queen Mary University writes an accompanying piece arguing that Labour ‘needs to learn to love Brexit'. Richard joined the podcast to discuss further, alongside Conservative peer Dan Hannan. Both Brexiteers, they disagree over the approach the government should take and what tools it should be using. (1:02) Next: the big appeal of bite-sized history Why are so many readers turning to short histories? The historian Alice Loxton writes in the magazine this week about the popularity of books with titles like ‘the shortest history of…', ‘a brief history of…' or ‘a little history of'. Some may argue these are designed to satisfy generations of distracted readers, but Alice defends them, saying ‘there is something liberating about how noncommittal they are'. Should we embrace the ‘short history'? Alice, author of Eighteen: A History of Britain in 18 Young Lives, joined the podcast to discuss further alongside Professor Simon Heffer – himself the author of A Short History of Power. (24:40) And finally: is being a bridesmaid ‘brutal'? A Northern Irish bride chose to have 95 bridesmaids when she married earlier this month. While it might be understandable to not want to choose between friends, Sophia Money-Coutts writes in the magazine this week that, once chosen, the reality of being a bridesmaid is brutal. Sophia joined the podcast to discuss further, alongside the journalist Francesca Peacock. (36:22) Hosted by William Moore and Gus Carter. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Akeem Ambrose is the elementary P.E. teacher and athletic director at Crawford Adventist Academy in Toronto, Ontario. In this conversation he explores the transformative power of sports in Adventist education. Akeem shares the origin story and vision behind the Ontario Adventist Sports Association, and challenges the traditional hierarchy of learning by championing the gym as a space where A-grade character is built. He speaks candidly about the life lessons students gain through sports, namely discipline, perseverance, and goal-setting, while also highlighting the struggles Adventist schools face in embracing modern opportunities, including athletic scholarships and extracurricular expansion. More than competition, Akeem sees sports as a culture of community, relationships, and worship, a space where students can honour God, connect with peers, and show non-Christian students the heart of faith through sports. Plus, don't miss his latest creative project: Mr. Ambrose, a brand-new animated YouTube series that brings faith-based storytelling to life from the very gym where so much of this journey begins.

In this inspiring episode of our Coaching for Good series, we dive deep into the transformative power of coaching and mentoring for disengaged and vulnerable youth. Host, Julie Flower is joined by Duncan Cherrett and Ana Collier from Young Devon, a leading charity in the southwest of England dedicated to supporting young people who need more help than traditional systems offer. They share how using a coaching philosophy in their work has provided empowering lifelines for many young people navigating complex life challenges.   Duncan and Ana discuss the evolution of their innovative mentoring programs, the requirements and qualities needed to become a young person's coach, the challenges of securing consistent funding, particularly for preventative work, and the significance of local knowledge and partnerships. They also explain the significance of different methods of evaluation in demonstrating the impact of their programmes. Listen and learn how a relational, coaching-based approach can reignite potential, foster trust, and build futures that once seemed out of reach.   You will learn: ·       The importance of building trust and rapport with young people ·       Specific projects and initiatives by Young Devon aimed at supporting youth ·       The training and support they provide to their coaches and mentors   “The Empowering Enterprise Project was probably our most successful, where the freedom to be able to select the timeline, which was really important, and I think allowed far more success than you normally would get with some of those fixed term mentoring programs.”   Don't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave us a review!

This week: why is economic growth eluding Labour? ‘Growing pains' declares The Spectator's cover image this week, as our political editor Katy Balls, our new economics editor Michael Simmons, and George Osborne's former chief of staff Rupert Harrison analyse the fiscal problems facing the Chancellor. ‘Dominic Cummings may have left Whitehall,' write Katy and Michael, ‘but his spirit lives on.' ‘We are all Dom now,' according to one government figure. Keir Starmer's chief aide Morgan McSweeney has never met Cummings, but the pair share a diagnosis of Britain's failing economy. Identifying a problem is not, however, the same as solving it. As Rachel Reeves prepares her Spring Statement, ministers are bracing themselves for cuts in day-to-day spending as the public finances deteriorate. Is austerity back? Michael and Rupert joined the podcast to discuss further. (1:02) Next: survival of the fittest vs seduction by the hottest Biologist and Conservative peer Matt Ridley writes about the concept of sexual selection in the magazine this week, explaining that evolution might not just be driven by survival of the fittest but also by section by the hottest. This, he says, would explain some of nature's most colourful oddities, particularly within birds, as outlined in his new book Birds, Sex and Beauty. Charles Darwin proposed this as a later part of his evolutionary theory, but it caused a rift amongst his contemporaries – why is it a controversial concept? And could it be true for other species such as humans? Matt joined the podcast alongside David Puts, Professor of Anthropology and Psychology at Penn State University. (19:13) And finally: what makes historic murders so fascinating? Historian and author Hallie Rubenhold's new book, Story of a Murder: The Wives, the Mistress and Dr Crippen, retells the famous murder case from the perspective of the women involved. Lisa Hilton declares it an ‘intellectual adventure' in the lead book review in the magazine this week. But why do these cases continue to capture our imaginations, decades and even centuries later? And, whether as victims or as accomplices, what makes women such compelling subjects in historic cases like these? Hallie joined the podcast alongside the historian and broadcaster Alice Loxton, author of Eighteen: A History of Britain in 18 Young Lives. (30:40) Presented by William Moore and Lara Prendergast. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

“I love finding out people's back stories. It's the grittier, it's the weirder, it's the bits where people's lives go wrong that shines a light on their glories later on.” ~Alice Loxton History's most famous figures are remembered only for their great deeds and achievements, but rarely for their lives before. What were the likes of Empress Matilda, Richard Burton or Chaucer like when they were teenagers - when they were just 18? Alice Loxton, one of Britain's most exciting young historians, explores this in her new book Eighteen: A History of Britain in 18 Young Lives. You may have spotted Alice on social media where she has more than 2 million followers. She's also the author of Uproar: Satire, Scandal and Printmakers in Georgian London. Alice explores how, despite narrow curriculums and stuffy history shows on TV, social media is changing how we perceive history, making it more compelling for a wider and younger audience. She explains why she felt it would be so powerful to tell the stories of the 18 year old versions of history's greatest names. And she shares fascinating insights into their lives, highlighting the strange paths many walked before finding fame. In this episode you will learn: How some figures from history are still waiting for their stories to be told. The importance of giving your characters histories and backstories of their own. Why it might be worth your while starting a social media channel. Find out more about Alice here. Your host is inkjockey founder Mark Heywood.

Listen in as Sybil enlightens us on how imaginative play not only offers a vital outlet for children to process trauma but also strengthens their problem-solving skills. The conversation takes a crucial turn to address the devastating impact of domestic violence on children, revealing levels of PTSD that rival those experienced by war veterans, and emphasizing the urgent need for tailored support for these young survivors. In the realm of protective parenting post-domestic violence, this episode sheds light on the strategies for nurturing and supporting children who have been through coercive control.

Amid the heavy burden of today's societal pressures – from the lingering effects of the pandemic to the omnipresent weight of social media – our youth are wading through unprecedented mental health challenges. In today's podcast, we sit with Dr. Kurt Michael (Senior Clinical Director) from the Jed Foundation, diving into the urgent topic of youth firearm suicidality. As a former academic dedicated to establishing mental health clinics in rural schools, and a gun owner himself, Dr. Michael brings a wealth of experience to the table, sharing why gun violence prevention is not just a policy issue, but a personal one. Together, we explore the heightened suicide risks for young people, particularly in communities where firearms are more accessible, and Dr. Michael helps us see the resilience and hope in these young fighters, and how simple measures like responsible gun storage can be a lifeline.Further reading: It's Okay to Say Suicide (Jed) How to Cope With Safety Threats in Your Community or the World (Jed)What's the best way to talk about gun violence with kids?

One goal in our healthcare improvement is to achieve equitable access to high quality emergency care for kids, regardless of where that child is physically located. Children have unique characteristics and needs, especially in the emergency setting, and the reality is that not all kids have access to specific pediatric care. In fact, 80% of children receive emergency care in general emergency departments, most of which see less than 15 pediatric patients a day. However, care in those adult settings is not specifically geared towards children. Research shows that pediatric readiness results in lower mortality rates among sick and injured kids. Fortunately, ongoing state and national initiatives are making strides in enhancing pediatric readiness. “The first piece of this is that the focus is on system design. This is not about the failings of a single provider, or the knowledge or skill set of healthcare providers. We are only as good as the system in which we work,” Katherine Remick, MD, says. In today's episode we are joined by Dr. Remick as well as Kathleen Adelgais, MD. Dr. Remick joins us from Austin Texas, where she is a pediatric emergency medicine provider and an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Texas at Austin Dell Medical School. She is also the Associate Chair for Quality, Innovation, and Outreach within the Department of Pediatrics. In addition, she is co-director of both the National EMS for Children Innovation and Improvement Center, as well as the National Pediatric Readiness Project. Dr. Adelgais is an emergency medicine physician here at Children's Hospital Colorado and the project director of the Colorado EMS for Children Program. “There are a series of research studies coming out left and right, right now that show the real dramatic impact of pediatric readiness, Dr. Adelgais says. “The research we are getting from the rich data set of the pediatric readiness scores across hospitals, you're hard pressed to find any treatment anywhere for anything that reduces mortality that dramatically.” Some highlights from this episode include:  What pediatric readiness is and how we achieve it The importance of system-level improvements  What COPPER is and how it aligns with national efforts  What the pediatric readiness score measures  Success through the data    For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org
