Louise White sits in for Kaye Adams and asks if listeners would be happy for their child to have a named person. Plus she discusses staycations in Bristol.

The Scottish government has published changes to its controversial named person scheme.
The changes published on Tuesday aim to overcome those concerns.
They will ensure that public bodies can only share information about children if is likely to "promote, support or safeguard the wellbeing" of the child.
