    • Personal Journals

In this episode I talk with Harriet Williams, Deputy Leader of the Women's Equality Party (WEP).
I initially interviewed Harriet back in the beginning of making Mother of All Solutions podcast when Harriet worked as a 'Young Parent Consultant'. She still works in many roles and in this episode mentioned supporting: 
Care experienced parents:

Single parents: https://www.gingerbread.org.uk/ 
 
In this episode, we specifically discuss current issues around childcare costs and entitlements, and reference data from Pregnant Then Screwed published in Feb 2024:

This was discussed in the context of 15 hours free childcare (for those eligible) starting next month in April 2024:
