This week we speak to the brilliant Tom Bucher, a former primary school teacher and Frontline employee. Tom now works for two fantastic charities: Grandparents Plus and Kidscape. He speaks about how the crisis has shone a light on kinship carers, who are often disproportionately poorer than average parents, and at the moment are at higher risk due to Covid-19. Tom talks about how crucial it is to provide support and guidance, and connecting kinship carers at this time. He also addresses cyber-bullying and increased screen time, and the impact it’s having on children. Finally, Tom provides insight on how to empower both parents and children now and going forward. Enjoy!
