The Open University. The future is open.

My name is Ailes Hart. I'm a senior journalist at Radio 4 and I work off Final 4.

Stories start in different places. And for seasoned journalists like Ailis Hart, you learn to keep your ears open at all times.

I came across this story when I was looking at something completely different.

My name is Maeve McLenigan. This is the Tip-Off.

A-LIS works for BBC Radio 4's File on 4.

She was sat in her office in Salford and was talking to a top human rights lawyer over the phone about another story,

when the lawyer dropped this tantalizing snippet of information.

And she said something like, well, if you think that's bad, where do you hear this?

who's seen it all, says something like that, you know, your ears prick up. On the end of the line, A-Lis was scrabbling to get all the details down.

And I was typing furiously trying to get all the notes down and, but kept having to stop and think,

oh my gosh.

She said, there's this boy who lives in Yorkshire and he was abused by, you know, 20, 30, 40 men

and pretty much everyone who was supposed to be looking out for him, fill them.

And they're still failing him.

When she hung up the phone that day, Aylis had reams of notes.

It wasn't a story she'd started on, but she knew it was something she needed to look into.
