Care Visions Talks

Care Visions Talks is a podcast series that brings together voices from across care, education, health and community support to explore what it really means to care — and to be cared for.

The series includes two strands:


Care Visions Family Talk has two hosts: Dr Linda de Caestecker and Lucy Johnston.


Dr Linda de Caestecker, former Director of Public Health and experienced paediatrician, leads warm, accessible conversations designed for parents, carers and families. Her episodes cover topics such as childhood trauma, fostering, resilience, separation and mental health, with expert guests offering practical guidance and compassionate insight.


Lucy Johnston is an award-winning journalist and broadcaster with a long-standing commitment to social affairs, health, and children’s welfare. In her episodes, she shares powerful stories about young people in care and explores the systems that shape their lives. With a background in investigative reporting, Lucy began her career at The Big Issue before moving to The Observer and later The Sunday Express, where she is Health and Social Affairs Editor. Her work has exposed neglect in care homes, failures in mental health services, and injustices faced by vulnerable children and families.


Care Visions Professional Talk is hosted by Humphrey Hawksley, award-winning author, broadcaster and former BBC foreign correspondent. These in-depth episodes are created for those working in or studying social care, health, education and related fields. Guests include thought leaders, researchers and practitioners discussing the emotional realities, challenges and evolving practices in work with children, young people and families.


Whether you're a parent, a professional, or someone passionate about care and community, Care Visions Talks offers space to listen, reflect and learn.

  • Family Courts, Domestic Abuse & Protecting Children | Julia Margo
    2026/05/20

    What happens when a parent trying to protect their children enters a family court system that doesn’t always recognise abuse?

    In this episode of Care Visions Professional Talk, Humphrey Hawksley speaks with Julia Margo, co-founder of Fair Hearing, about domestic abuse, coercive control, safeguarding and the realities of navigating the family justice system.

    Julia shares her personal experience of discovering her former partner was a convicted child sex offender and the eight-year legal battle that followed while trying to protect her children.

    The conversation explores:

    • domestic abuse and coercive control
    • child protection and safeguarding
    • parental alienation allegations
    • trauma-informed justice
    • family court reform
    • resilience and recovery
    • supporting victims through legal systems

    Julia now works with survivors and legal professionals through Fair Hearing, helping improve understanding of victim experiences within the judiciary and wider justice system.

    Hosted by Humphrey Hawksley for Care Visions Professional Talk.

  • Scottish Education, Schools Today & Standards | Keir Bloomer | Family Talk
    2026/05/06

    Are standards in Scottish education falling — and what’s really behind it?
    In this episode of Family Talk, Lucy Johnston speaks with Keir Bloomer, former Director of Education and one of the architects of Curriculum for Excellence.

    Drawing on decades of experience, Dr. Bloomer argues that standards in Scotland have declined, pointing to international data, curriculum design, and a shift away from knowledge-based learning.

    They discuss:
    Whether standards are truly falling
    What went wrong with Curriculum for Excellence
    The impact of school absence and lockdowns
    Behaviour challenges in schools
    The rise in additional support needs
    The role of parents, schools and government
    Whether education is keeping pace with AI
    A clear and thought-provoking conversation for parents, carers and professionals supporting young people.

  • More Children, Fewer Homes | Professor Claudia Bernard | Care Visions Professional TalkUntitled Episode
    2026/04/17

    What happens when more children need care — but there are fewer homes to support them?

    In this episode of Care Visions Professional Talk, Professor Claudia Bernard (Goldsmiths, University of London) joins Humphrey Hawksley to explore the growing pressure on the UK care system.

    Drawing on decades of experience in social work and research, Professor Bernard explains why the system is under strain — and what’s changed over the past 30 years.

    This conversation covers:

    • Why more children are entering care — often later, with more complex needs
    • The shortage of foster carers and residential homes
    • How trauma, poverty, race, gender and class shape outcomes
    • Why relationship-based social work is becoming harder
    • The rise in complexity facing practitioners
    • The reality behind “county lines” and exploitation
    • Whether children are always best placed in family settings
    • The role of private providers in children’s care

    This is an honest, grounded discussion about the realities behind the system — and the difficult questions that don’t have easy answers.

    Final thought:
    If children don’t have hope, what do they have?
