Looking at female activists at the Tory conference and the support of children with special needs as they settle into secondary school. Plus Jessie Ware sings live.

We talk to female activists at the Tory conference, and some of the women hoping to become Conservative MPs about what they hope to do this week to connect with women voters.

And following our discussion of 'lad culture' at university and colleges we speak to women's officers from 10 and 20 years ago to see how things have changed.
