Thought for the Week: In Loco Parentis

Gavin Oldham

Original Broadcast: Thought for the Week

not implemented

It's a long and lonely road for over 100,000 young people in care throughout the UK. Local Authorities and foster carers do everything possible to help with their journey through adolescence, but disrupted education and insecurity often leads up to a cliff-edge entry to adulthood at 18. In a stable family setting, parents provide resources and life skills, and help build the attitudinal transformation necessary for a forward-looking approach with which to start adult life. In its work for the DfE on behalf of young people in care, The Share Foundation helps to build that same strong foundation. Background music: 'Everything Has a Beginning' by Joel Cummins

Thought for the Week: The Art of Communication

Gavin Oldham

Original Broadcast: Thought for the Week

not implemented

Building the art of communication is essential for a successful adult life, and the performing arts provide a great way to develop confidence and conversational dialogue. They can bring hope and career opportunities to young people when more academic doors are closed. Unfortunately, this is not an easy option for those in state education or from disadvantaged backgrounds. In a world where so much communication is uni-directional, we must work harder to bring these opportunities to all.

They discuss the continuing economic inequality of the sexes, and the initiatives put in place by the WealthiHer Network to work towards equality. Replay from 20th March 2020

Thought for the Week: Inter-generational injustice requires wholesale reform

Gavin Oldham

Original Broadcast: Thought for the Week

not implemented

David Willetts set out the challenge of inter-generational injustice 14 years ago in his book, 'The Pinch': but the problems have got worse, not better, during that same period of Conservative government. Young people face huge problems as a result of a fiscal environment structured to benefit older people, student debt, asset prices inflated by prolonged low interest rates — and then the pandemic: not to speak of demographic dislocations as a result of migration. Government finances may indeed require a complete overhaul, but it needs to be done in combination with resolving inter-generational injustice. Background music: 'Generations Away' by Unicorn Heads

Thought for the Week: What's required for a good start to adult life

Gavin Oldham

Original Broadcast: Thought for the Week

not implemented

Much like Sir Keith Joseph, Michael Gove provides intellectual stimulus for the Conservative Party. 'Breaking the cycle of deprivation' was Keith Joseph's strategy in the mid-70s, but after 32 years of Conservative governments there's little progress to show. Is Michael Gove just talking about housing or can he tackle the wider issue, including unclaimed Child Trust Funds? Background music: 'Waiting' by Andrew Langdon
