Paralympics boss Dave Clarke: the unwitting trailblazer

Duration: 33 minutes

First broadcast:

Available for over a year

The boss of Paralympics GB joins us, with just over 100 days to go until this summer’s Games in Paris. From studying politics to a spell in banking – not to mention playing blind football for England - we explore the work Dave Clarke’s done to help innovate the workforce – and the playing field.

Plus, is Right Care, Right Person the right approach? The scheme used by several police forces in England and Wales means fewer officers attend mental health calls. Instead support is provided by the NHS and mental health services.
One top police boss believes it is a success, but as you’ll hear mental health charities have concerns.
