Grandparenting in Europe - a new report from the pressure group Grandparents Plus. Does Britain have anything to learn from policies in other European countries that support grandparents as carers for their grandchildren and how would this fit with the new government's ideology and spending cuts? Sheila McClennon talks to Sarah Wellard of Grandparents Plus and Professor Sarah Harper of the Oxford Centre for Ageing.

And Autism and Mental Health - the National Autistic Society says mental health services are failing children with autism and that many of their mental health problems go undiagnosed. Sheila McClennon talks to Dr Judith Gould of the National Autistic Society and Barbara McIntosh, Foundation for People with Learning Difficulties.
