Summary

Women’s loos: a place of camaraderie, retreat or even high drama? Samantha Jagger has been documenting what happens in the ladies for 10 years. She's captured candid moments between friends and strangers and her photographs, mostly taken in pubs and clubs in Manchester and Leeds, are about to be on show in an exhibition called Loosen Up.

Being the child of a parent who's transitioned. Katie Sherdley, Catriona Innes and Cath Lloyd talk to Tina Daheley about it.

Ramadan and taking exams: how do Muslim parents and students approach it and what do schools need to do? Education consultant, Rukshana Taqoob, and Anna Cole from the Association of School and College Leaders discuss. We also hear from two A level students in Bolton.

It will be announced today that local council will have a legal duty to provide safe homes for victims of domestic abuse. We get reaction from Suzanne Jacob, CEO of SafeLives.
