Baroness Casey looks at some of the challenges facing whoever wins the general election, and in this final episode looks at integration and cohesion.

Baroness Casey, Louise Casey, continues her series looking at the challenges facing whoever wins the next general election. Delving into the reasons why 5 major social policy problems on which she has worked remain unsolved, she looks at questions of governance and political complexity, and asks what we need from our government, at every level, to make things work better.

In this final episode of the series Louise looks at perhaps the most complicated and hardest to pin down subject of all - cohesion. Louise heads back to Bradford to examine how the city has changed since she visited in 2016 while writing her review in to opportunity and integration. Speaking to people she met then and the policy-makers she worked with at the time, she discovers that we need to do more if we are going to build a truly cohesive society.

Producer: Ed Chivers.
