Kouper, Harriet & Billy: Children of the Nottingham Maternity Scandal

Kouper, Harriet and Billy were all born at Nottingham City Hospital. Their families say they were affected by failures in their care, as the hospital trust comes under scrutiny as part of the largest maternity safety review in NHS history. In this programme, their parents tell their babies’ stories in their own words - from their hopes for the future, through their experiences of pregnancy and birth, and their ongoing fight for safer maternity care. Produced by Amelia Salmons and Charlotte Linnecar. Some of the families in this piece have spoken positively about the help they received from Sands.

The Killing of Jo Cox: A Decade On

Ten years on from the murder of MP Jo Cox, we return to Batley and Spen to hear from the people who knew her best — and those who were there on the day she was attacked in Birstall. Jo’s sister Kim Leadbeater reflects on grief, family, and why she eventually decided to enter Parliament herself. Friends, colleagues and local reporters describe the shock of 2016, the tense political backdrop, and the community’s response. We also ask what’s changed since: the legacy Jo left behind, the Great Get Together, and the ongoing questions around the safety of politicians — especially in an age of online abuse and escalating threats.
