In this episode we continue our conversation surrounding safeguarding children in entertainment industries, narrowing our lens to identify how consent is understood and used.

The conversation expands to consider the nature of vulnerability within the context of consent, and how processes must shift to accommodate an informed and fair agreement for all parties.

We conclude that consent must be flexible, understanding that the ever-changing nature of human decision-making must too be reflected in the processes by which consent is gathered.

In this episode we consider the safeguarding standards existent in entertainment industries, with relation to the protection of children.

From the developing narrative of Justin Bieber's early career to inappropriate age gap relationships on film sets, we address the overlooked societal normalisations that expose children to harm.

We end by considering how the role of privilege acts to de-escalate the harm done unto a child star, reducing collective empathy, and continuing the pattern of risk within entertainment industries.

In this episode, we highlight Detective Investigator Maggie Oliver's landmark case against the UK Government, challenging a failure to strengthen the rights and protections of children in care.

With reference to the National Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (2018), this episode considers the complexity of safeguarding vulnerable children and the inconsistent implementation of multi-agency working.

With a consideration to her professional safeguarding education, Ann reflects on the difficulties of working as a detective within a defensively orientated police system and explains the changes needed to achieve better outcomes for children in care.

In our first episode we take on the career of children's author and TV personality David Walliams.

Once regarded as a national treasure, now the subject of abuse allegations, our conversation dissects the inadequate safeguarding procedures of publisher Harper Collins regarding the protection of its staff.

We expand the conversation to consider society's tendency to shame victims, side with the abuser, and the patriarchal indoctrination to devalue women's intuition regarding self-protective instincts.

We finish by dismantling our own prejudices about the role of the bystander and questioning accountability, acknowledging the often impossible task of seeking justice and implementing tangible punishment upon the perpetrator.
