Caring for Children and the Elderly

BBC Radio 4's Listeners' Election project culminates with a week-long series of programmes. Chris Mason brings together contributions from listeners across the country on particular themes that concern them.

In this edition, some listeners explain the issues they face caring for children and the elderly, from the lack of childcare in school holidays, and its impact on parents' work prospects, to the difficulties of coping with a parent's dementia.
