  • Jade’s Law: what rights should parents who murder their partners have?

    It's another difficult topic this week as our hosts examine the new Jade's Law - named for Jade Ward, who - one week after ending their relationship - was brutally murdered by her former partner in 2021, while their four children slept upstairs.

    Vince and Tilly discuss the sad case that inspired the law, the ethics behind the legalities, and the likely impact on all those it will affect.

  • Stop leaving your children with partners you hardly know

    This week, hosts Vince and Tilly take inspiration from this recent controversial article to ask: is it victim-blaming to ask mothers to protect their children from partners? Should everyone do a Sarah’s law and Claire’s law check on every new partner? Is the Cinderella effect real? And should social workers embed the risk of partners/boyfriends who are not a child’s birth parent into their assessments more?
