Attitudes to women and alcohol

Why are our attitudes to women drinking and to those who seem to have a problematic relationship with alcohol so harsh and judgemental compared to our attitudes to men who booze? How and why are women鈥檚 relationships with alcohol viewed differently from that of men? And how are female and male relationships with booze very different?

Divorce and 鈥淔inancial Disclosure鈥

The Supreme Court hears this week from two women, Alison Sharland and Varsha Gohil, who claim that their husbands misled the divorce courts about their assets. They are asking for their financial settlements to be increased to take this into account. So how common are claims that one party or the other is lying about money? And what impact could a Supreme Court ruling have? Jane talks to Ayesha Vardag, founder and president of family law firm Vardags.

How to get the haircut you want from your hairdresser

Have you ever been to the hairdresser and despite your rising panic profusely thanked them for the wildly misinterpreted style you鈥檝e ended up with? It鈥檚 somehow what you asked for and yet completely different to what you imagined.聽 It鈥檚 not that your hairdresser is bad; it鈥檚 more like your vision got lost in translation. We talk to hairdresser Denise McAdam and beauty columnist Sali Hughes who share their own stories, and give us their top tips on how to communicate with your stylist so they understand what you actually want.

Do vulnerable girls get the support they need?

Recently the Prison Reform Trust produced figures that said that looked after children make up 33% of boys and 61% of girls in custody, despite fewer than 1% of all children in England being in care.聽 We hear from Natalie Rollock, a practise manager of targeted youth support services for Hertfordshire County Council, who runs a support group for vulnerable girls aged 13-17. She and Danielle, who attended the weekly meetings, explain why that provision has been vital. Lin Hinnigan, Chief Executive of the Youth Justice Board and Juliet Lyon, Director of the Prison Reform Trust join Jane to discuss how to better support vulnerable girls.
