What if we could combat loneliness and isolation at the same time as combatting some of the consequences of systemic poverty?  What if we could do that with resources we already have?  What if we could take a different approach to childcare and the care of older people that could transform communities? Too good to be true?

We’re joined by Jacqueline Cassidy to discuss her Churchill Fellowship research into different approaches to child and elder care in Japan, Singapore and the USA.  What can Scotland learn about intergenerational approaches to co-located care and its potential to support improved outcomes for children and older people? Jacqueline will discuss the research with Karen Hedge, National Director from Scottish Care and Jane Brumpton, Chief Executive from Early Years Scotland.
