The Parent Perspective

Rachel Burden is joined by Sporting Futures founder Jill Eaton and her son Tommie, who launched Bambuu Brush, to discuss why it's so important for you, the parents, to keep an open mind when it comes to your kids' futures.

Show Notes

In episode four host Rachel Burden explores why with so many options available for your children post-16, it's so important for you, the parents, to keep an open mind when it comes to their future.

Rachel chats to Jill Eaton, who set up the training provider Sporting Futures in 2011 to create opportunities and raise aspirations through apprenticeships. Jill is a mum of four and she’s made sure that her own kids weren’t pushed down one route. Her second guest is Jill's son Tommie, who worked in education himself but then in 2019 he set up his own company, Bambuu Brush with his partner Rebecca.

The Parent Perspective, hosted by BBC presenter Rachel Burden, was created to help parents and carers support their children in making more informed career decisions with greater confidence, knowledge and understanding. 

In each episode we will share your experiences of navigating career conversations with your children and provide insights into how the world of work is changing from trusted experts, organisations and employers already working with young people today. 

If you have any questions that you need answers to, you can join the conversation on social media by following @AmazingAppsUK and @NotGoingToUni and using the hashtag #parentperspective.
