Solo Parenting By Choice and Caring For Others In The Hot Weather

Emma Brockes shares her own story, plus advice for parents and carers in the heat.

In her new book "An Excellent Choice" Emma Brockes uses her own story to examine how and why an increasing number of women are using fertility treatments in order to become parents-and are doing it on their own. She reveals the panic and joy her solo path to motherhood has brought her.

And with the relentless hot weather, how do you care for the elderly and the very young? If you're a carer or a parent, what do you need to be looking out for and made more aware of? Jenni speaks to Emily Holzhausen, director of policy at Carers UK and Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and clinical director of patient.co.uk.
