Media Request: grandparents from the West Midlands

Hi there,

We've received the following media request.

Thanks,
MNHQ

My name is Phoebe and I'm a journalist at ITV News Central in Birmingham.

We are running a story on grandparents helping with childcare during school holidays, after school, inset days, etc, and we need your help!

We want to speak to a grandparent from the West Midlands who already helps with childcare throughout the year. And we need to film the interview on Monday 30th.

Here are the questions we would ask:

  1. How much more childcare will you be doing over the school summer holidays and why?
  2. Are you surprised that so many grandparents are relied upon to help with summer childcare?
  3. What impact would it have if you weren't around to help out?

We can film them at a park or in their home if they're comfortable. It will be in person and will only take 20 minutes. Contact Phoebe via [email protected] if you're interested.
