Newsround is looking for a family affected by redundancy

MSE_Jenny

Newsround are looking to cover the issue of redundancy from a child's point of view. They're looking for a case study of a child aged 9-12 whose parent, or parents, have been made redundant. They'd like to be able to talk to the child about the impact the redundancy has had on them.

Ideally this would take place over the next few weeks and then they may do a follow up nearer to Christmas, given that this could be a particularly trying time for the family.

If your child has been affected and you think they would like to take part, please email [EMAIL="chloe.browne@bbc.co.uk"]chloe.browne@bbc.co.uk[/EMAIL]

Are people not protecting their children from redundancy, I wouldn't dream of discussing my finances with a 9-12 year old.

Children need to know if families are going through a tough time. My children are financially astute and as a result understand money has to be earned. This is right and healthy. They understand if they save their money, the bank will pay them (interest) and that there is a 'credit crunch' which means adults need to control their spending. My oh is under threat of redundancy which the children understand.

Kids are afected too when a parent come out of work. It will help the older kids understand whats going on.

Keep up the good work newsround.
