Woman's Hour: Relationships between the generations during lockdown

Relationships between the generations during lockdown

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Relationships between the generations during lockdown

We consider the effect that guidance for the over-70s has had on different age-groups.

How have relationships between the generations been affected by the lockdown and the government's guidance for the over-70s?

At the end of the week when government advice started to ease the lockdown we take stock and look at how relationships between the generations have been affected by social distancing measures and shielding.
 
Woman’s Hour listeners tell us how the government advice for over-70s has affected them. We hear how families have responded and how adult children and parents are negotiating their changed roles. And we discuss how best to communicate when you see risk differently.

With Gabrielle Rifkind, Psychotherapist and Director of the conflict resolution organisation Oxford Process, and Professor Jane Lord, Professor of immune cell biology and Director of the Institute of Inflammation & Ageing, University of Birmingham.
