Topics include discipline in schools, recruitment diversity and Pope John Paul II.

Samira Ahmed and her guests debate discipline in schools, plus should recruitment be based on diversity rather than ability, and does Pope John Paull II deserve to be a saint?

Samira Ahmed and her guests - campaigner Rev George Hargreaves, broadcaster Simon Fanshawe, reality TV star Katie Hopkins, and James Newman from Catholic Voices - debate the ethical and religious issues of the week

This week: 

Should teachers be tougher on bad behaviour at school?  

Schools are being advised that they should 'systematically measure' children's happiness levels to stop them going off the rails, according to new guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence. Some education groups say that this is further evidence of a 'Nanny state'.  Have we become too soft on children at school? Or would a harsher approach only make the problem worse?

Should recruitment be based on diversity rather than ability?

Home Office Minister Damian Green says the police must make more use of equality laws to increase the number of black and ethnic minority officers serving. Simon Fanshawe argues in his Sunday Stand this week that all employers should stop simply always hiring 'the best person for the job'.  Instead, they should actively recruit as diverse a workforce as possible. Not only will this open up more opportunities for more people - it will also improve business performance. 

Does John Paul II deserve to be a saint?

Pope Francis will soon make saints of two of contemporary Catholicism's most important figures - Pope John XXIII and Pope John Paul II. Many Catholics were calling for John Paul II's sainthood immediately after his death. Pope John Paul II is credited with two miracles and is said to have played an important role in ending Communism in Europe, as well as improving relationships with other religions. However, there are some who oppose making him a saint, noting that he oversaw the church during a period in which clergy sex abuse was covered up.
