In this special episode for the Women of the World Festival (WOW) London, host Laura Broderick speaks with parents and panellists at the Southbank Centre on Saturday 11 March 2023.

The topic is childcare – lived experiences of using, accessing and affording it. Following the WOW panel discussion, The Case for Free Childcare, Laura caught up with Catherine Mayer (Co-founder of Primadonna Festival) and Hannah Peaker (Women’s Equality Party Chief of Staff.)
I hope you enjoy hearing what people had to say on the topic of childcare; and what can be done to support working parents - and parents wanting to work. Thank you to all caregivers (and kids) featured in this episode.
