==== ''The Scandal of Crookham Court'' ====
A letter to Esther Rantzen which was forwarded to her by [[Childline]] came from a boy at the boarding school, Crookham Court School in Newbury,<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.getreading.co.uk/news/local-news/child-abuse-victim-felt-sick-4202903 | title=Child abuse victim felt sick, scared and ashamed |first=Paul|last=Cassell|website=Berkshire Live| date=March 2012 }}</ref> who had been sexually abused by the owner of the school and had discovered that his brother was also sexually abused by another teacher. A three-month investigation uncovered widespread abuse of the boys in the school; Rantzen, Woolfe and Hereward Harrison (a Childline executive) visited the school to speak to pupils. Paedophile Philip Cadman<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/article/one-in-7-people-aware-of-sex-abuse-at-school-jwt6cjsdsd0 | title=One in 7 people aware of sex abuse at school }}</ref> was the millionaire owner of the school who was later tried and convicted of abuse, as were teachers Bill Printer and Philip Edmonds.

A special programme, ''The Scandal of Crookham Court'', reconstructed the court case at which the children gave evidence.  Author Ian Mucklejohn assisted the investigation and has written a book based on his experience teaching at the school and the evidence of pupils who suffered abuse there.<ref>{{cite book |author=Ian Mucklejohn |title=Had:The Tragedy of Crookham Court School |isbn= 9781782204008 |publisher=Karnac Books |date= 2016 |location=United Kingdom}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Nest Of Paedophiles Uncovered In The Wake Of That's Life Investigation |url=https://www.pressreader.com/uk/sunday-mirror/20150503/281874411963206 |work=[[Sunday Mirror]] |access-date=5 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220219211717/https://www.pressreader.com/uk/sunday-mirror/20150503/281874411963206 |archive-date=19 February 2022 |language=en |date=3 May 2015 |url-status=live |via=[[PressReader]]}}</ref>
