A-level grades - what to do next

Available for over a year

What to do if your children don't get the exam grades they need. George Turnbull, Ofqual's former 'Exams Doctor', and the career advisor Carolyn Taylor join Jenni to discuss practical advice if things don't go to plan come results day. Should women have to arm themselves with self-defence skills, or should the focus be on the perpetrators of the violence? We open up our Archive to hear an interview mountaineer Alison Hargreaves gave to the programme a year before she died and talk to one of the youngest British climbers to summit Mount Everest, about her legacy. We visit a café in Hackney, East London, where older women, mostly grandmothers, do the cooking, take the orders and welcome the customers which is helping to combat social isolation. And we remember Hollywood icon Lauren Bacall - who died yesterday. Presented by Jenni Murray Producer Beverley Purcell.
