Last weekend I finished binge-watching three seasons of the brilliant Happy Valley. I know I know, I’m always late to the party when it comes to good telly.
Without giving anything away, there is a pivotal moment which beautifully reminds us of the key role childhood and upbringing plays, and the impact it has in later life.
I was reminded of this scene when I read about the plans for parents to lose their benefits if their children skip school being pushed by Michael Gove.
