Listen "Election Q&A: Employment, cost of living and Carer’s Allowance"

Episode Synopsis

In our final general election special we’re working through a few more topics you told us you wanted to hear about.

Cost of living impacts everyone, but it can be particularly challenging if you’re disabled – how do our panel envision the situation could be improved? And while many people work, we also know lots of you care for someone you love, so how might the topics of employment and Carer’s Allowance shake down when the next government is in place?

This week’s expert panel - Rensa Gaunt from Inclusion London, James Taylor from Scope and BBC Social Affairs Correspondent, Michael Buchanan.

Have a very merry general election, from the Access All team.
