Mental health campaigners want government to give up "unhealthy benefit war rhetoric"
Mental health campaigners have warned the government to avoid "unhealthy benefit war rhetoric" strategy when it finalises its plans to get more benefits claimants back to work.
We hear the reaction of Catherine Parsons, who oversees the Big Issue’s specialist employment service Big Issue Recruit.
The service helps find work for those who face barriers including homeless people, ex offenders and others with mental health issues.
We also investigate data from a children’s rights charity suggesting that many disabled kids in care, and care leavers, could be missing out on vital support.
And Emma speaks to CBeebies presenter George Webster, who has Down’s Syndrome.
