PRU ft. Nkechi Simms

Available for over a year

Actress Nkechi Simms drops in to tell De-Graft and Roshan about her role in BBC Three’s new comedy PRU and her own time in pupil referral units. And we get to the bottom of why black pupils are more likely to be excluded from school than white students, with Jessica Perera from the Institute of Race Relations. Also, we hear the distressing account of how a 15-year-old girl, who is mixed race and autistic, was strip-searched by police. Like Child Q, she was on her period and was left traumatised by the experience. You can message us on WhatsApp on 0330 123 940.
