BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Cookery pioneer Claudia Roden, getting a SEN diagnosis, the impact of vaccine hesitancy among care workers

Cookery pioneer Claudia Roden. SEN diagnosis limbo. Vaccine hesitancy among care workers.

Cookery pioneer Claudia Roden.  Getting a SEN diagnosis for your child. Plus the impact of vaccine hesitancy among care workers .

It is not an exaggeration to call Claudia Roden a culinary pioneer. For over 50 years she  has been collecting recipes from home cooks throughout the MIddle East and Mediterranean.   She shares with Emma  details of her new  “Med” based on remembered dishes that she’s  encountered over decades.   

Care home managers in England say they're terrified of future staff shortages because of the 'no jab, no job' policy, brought in by the government, which says care home workers have to be double vaccinated by the 11th November, or face losing their job. Emma talks to  Nicola Richards, director of Palms Row Health Care, who manages two nursing homes about why workers are still not getting their jab an what that’ll mean for the future of the sector.

During  Listener Week, we spoke to Lauren Gibson. She wanted us to talk about the difficulties of finding out your child has learning disabilities. How do you deal with hearing your child isn’t developing normally?   And, what do you do whilst waiting for a full diagnosis? She got some practical advice from  Salena Begley, the Scottish Partnership Engagement Manager at Family Fund U .  Today she's back to, get advice from another listener  Claire Walker, who’s son was diagnosed with Autism in May, because sometimes the best person to hear from is someone who has been through the same experience as you
