Plus, Jane speaks to Health Editor of The Sunday Times, Shaun Lintern, about his coverage of The Sodium Valproate scandal.

A partridge in a placenta pear tree (with Adrian Dunbar)

This week's Friday special marks the 500th episode of Off Air, so we wanted to explore a topic close to our hearts. 

We heard from Katharine Sacks-Jones, CEO of Become - the national charity that supports children and young people with experience of the care system - and Jess, a student who was moved out of care during her mock A levels. 

This conversation was originally broadcast on our Times Radio afternoon show (2–4 pm, Monday to Thursday).
