  • S4 EP03 NOT DRUNK, DYING: The Death of Gaia Young and Her Mother's Fight for Answers
    Nov 13 2024

    Send us a text

    When Gaia Young arrived at hospital confused, vomiting and complaining of a severe headache, it was assumed she was drunk or on drugs.

    She wasn't.

    The 25 year-old from London died from swelling to the brain. But what caused it?

    In this podcast Angela Walker talks to Gaia's mother Lady Dorit Young about her relentless campaign for answers to her daughter's death.

    Was it an unavoidable tragedy, or the result of systemic failures?

    Could Gaia have been saved if her illness was treated differently?

    Why were crucial and routine tests not carried out, and could they have saved her life?

    Why did the inquest leave more questions than answers?

  • S4 EP02 EDUCATIONAL INEQUALITY: Overcoming Barriers for Black Caribbean Youth with David Okoro and Chidera Nome
    Sep 30 2024

    Send us a text

    Institutional racism, socio-economic factors and low aspirations from teachers are causing boys of Caribbean descent to fail in school.

    That's the view of founder of The Westside and Lewisham Young Leaders Academies, by David Okoro.

    Children of black Caribbean descent face significant educational disparities, with lower achievement in GCSE, higher rates of exclusion and are more likely to end prison.

    The academies offer a range of programmes, including mentoring, leadership development, and exposure to successful black role models to raise confidence, aspirations, and skills among black youths.

    In this podcast David Okoro and Chidera Nomeh, a student at Westside Academy join Angela Walker to talk about the positive impact of the academies and to discuss the wider issue of what can be done to close the gap.

    The academies face funding challenges and rely on grants, donations, and volunteers to continue their work. David emphasises the need for government intervention and investment to address the systemic issues contributing to the underachievement of black young people.

  • S4 EP01 MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE EXPOSED: The Death and Cover-Up of Robbie Powell and his Family's Fight for Justice with Will Powell and Sir Rob Behrens
    Sep 12 2024

    Send us a text

    What would you do if your child died as a result of medical negligence and doctors and the police colluded to cover it up?

    That's what happened in the case of ten-year-old Robbie Powell.

    His parents are campaigning for all healthcare professionals to be legally obligated to tell the truth following a negligent death.

    They're supported by the former Parliamentary Health Service Ombudsman Sir Rob Behrens CBE says: "Mr Powell was personally traduced by doctors, by regulators by the police service, by the Crown Prosecution Service, by politicians in a way which is just unacceptable. He was patronised and he never gave up."

    Robbie died from Addison's Disease. He could have been saved if doctors had carried out the necessary tests and informed the family of the risks. Instead, numerous medics failed him and spent 30 years covering it up.

    In this podcast Robbie's father Will Powell and Sir Rob Behrens join me to discuss the Powell family's relentless pursuit of truth and justice and the systemic failures that have deprived his family of justice for more than 30 years.
