The Roots to Change podcast is hosted by Donya Lamrhari, Systems Change Lead at the Children’s Society (https://www.childrenssociety.org.uk/), a national children’s charity. Our goal is to overturn the damaging decline in children’s wellbeing by 2030 and we know that to do this systemic change is needed. The Children’s Society defines Systems Change as a process of working collaboratively with people to understand and address the root causes of disadvantage for young people; an approach to redesigning and influencing the people, processes, rules, power and structures that make up systems, to achieve positive change. This podcast aims to make Systems Change accessible, by interviewing inspiring professionals and young people in the community and sharing their stories of change.

We live with a paradox. We need to measure our world to make sense of it, but important things are really hard to measure. And, when we do measure important things, how do we tell people what we have found out? Dr Simon Bell from The Open University and the Bayswater Institute investigates the world of indicators (or measurements). Who decides what we measure – from ash cloud particles, to calories consumed, to GDP – how do we measure things and do these indicators have an influence on the policies within the EU that affect us all?
