The controversy over a 'disturbing' baby video posted online, the pressure on schools to raise standards and the negligible health benefits of consuming afterbirth.
The NSPCC tell the programme that social media sites should be held to account, following a clash over a 'disturbing' video. Claire Lilley from the NSPCC tells Joanna Gosling that footage of a sobbing baby being dunked in water shows 'child abuse'. Facebook says it does not believe the video breaches its rules and will not ban uses of the footage.
Vic Goddard, the head teacher made famous by the TV show Educating Essex, speaks about the pressure schools are under to raise standards. Mr Goddard told Joanna Gosling about his recent meeting with education secretary Nicky Morgan and his hope that she would become a 'champion for teachers'.
And a mum tells the programme that she ate her placenta in a smoothie after the birth of her child. Victoria Proctor says she believed there were health benefits in consuming afterbirth.
