Show Notes

This week, we turn the tables and put your questions to the experts.


From childcare and early years, to schools, apprenticeships, and family life — listeners sent in brilliant questions on the challenges facing children and young people today.


Helen Miller is joined by Christine Farquharson and guests Carey Oppenheim, Sam Freedman, Philip Augar, and Anne Longfield to discuss:


- Should mothers be supported to stay at home rather than return to work?

- Has YouTube made teaching harder for schools?

- How can we encourage more firms to offer apprenticeships and sponsorships?

- What are the consequences of declining physical activity and play?
