About this episode
When undercover cameras rolled inside Winterbourne View Hospital, the truth was worse than anyone imagined. What was meant to be a safe, specialist unit for vulnerable adults was, in reality, a place of torment — a system-wide failure hiding in plain sight.In this episode, we trace the shocking abuse uncovered by BBC Panorama, the promises made in its aftermath, and the uncomfortable truth more than a decade on: despite national pledges and sweeping reforms, thousands of people with learning disabilities are still living in hospital units miles from home.This is the real story of Winterbourne View — the cruelty, the cover-ups, and the long shadow it still casts across the UK care system.Sign up for the free REDRUM newsletter, full of all things true crime, as well as a run down of all the latest REDRUM cases.
