Last week Theresa May unveiled a Budget boost for women who want to return to work after a long career break: a £5 million fund to support returnships - company programmes which help women restart their careers. So, what difficulties do women have in getting back to work after a career break? How can returnships help women and companies, and also close the gender gaps? Who is offering them, and how does one secure a place? Anna Johnstone, Director of Coaching for Women Returners, and by Israil Bryan, Diversity and Social Programme Manager at Skanska discuss.

Thordis Elva and Tom Stranger had a brief, and sweet, teenage romance. It ended when Tom raped Thordis at her home after a Christmas dance. Before either of them came to terms with his act of violence, he returned to Australia. Years later she decided to email him, telling him of the deep trauma he caused. In reply, he acknowledged his actions as rape, and they began a raw and painful, but ultimately healing dialogue. The two have written a book together, South of Forgiveness, about their experience. Jane speaks to Thoris Elva and Tom Stranger about their journey from sexual violence to reconciliation.
