Abuse Law Flaw

Abuse Law Flaw

Author: Adrian Goldberg's Talk Show October 26, 2022 Duration: 20:57
Adrian Goldberg hears a dismayed reaction to the final report of the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse - or IICSA. The Inquiry was commissioned by Theresa May in 2014 after the Jimmy Saville scandal and was designed to investigate the systemic failures that allow abuse to happen and then be covered up - especially in institutions such as schools, the NHS and the BBC. One if its key recommendations is for a law on Mandatory Reporting of abuse but Tom Perry from Mandate Now – who has been of the most ardent supporters of legislation like this - is not happy. Produced in Birmingham by Adrian Goldberg and Harvey White. Funded by subscriptions to Byline Times.

Adrian Goldberg's Talk Show is exactly that: a series of conversations driven by the host's curiosity about the people and forces shaping our world. This podcast sits at the intersection of society and culture, exploring the stories behind the headlines and the ideas that often go unexamined. Adrian brings his journalistic background to each discussion, creating a space where guests-from thinkers and writers to everyday people with extraordinary experiences-can speak in depth. The tone is engaging and thoughtful, more like a compelling chat in a quiet pub than a formal interview. You'll hear explorations of politics, community shifts, artistic movements, and the subtle ways our lives are changing. It’s a show built on the premise that good talk can illuminate the bigger picture, one conversation at a time. Listeners find themselves drawn into dialogues that are both timely and timeless, where the focus is on understanding rather than spectacle. Tune in for a podcast that values substance and genuine exchange, where the title truly is the promise.
