Helena Kennedy

Part of the series Estelle Morris Meets Women in Education

Estelle Morris talks to civil liberties champion and Queen's Counsel Helena Kennedy about her experiences with young people, asking why she feels some are being failed by the education system.

Kennedy talks about her work in education, through her reports as well as the Helena Kennedy Foundation, which offers a second chance at higher education for people in challenging circumstances.

Former education secretary Morris asks about Kennedy's recent report on disengagement in politics, especially among young people, and asks what role teachers and schools can play in reversing this trend.
