Woman's Hour and the Fourth World Conference on Women
BBC's Radio 4's longest-running magazine programme sets the agenda for women each day with a mixture of politics and people, fashion, food, finance and philosophy. For 49 years Woman's Hour has monitored the progress of women in parliament, in employment, internationally as well as at home. The programme regularly covers education, childcare and health, combining up-to-date research and advice from leading authorities with the emotions and experiences of women and men.
In September Woman's Hour are hoping to visit Beijing and would like to know if any other women's radio stations or programme-making teams are also attending. If so then the team would welcome the chance to meet with fellow broadcasters from round the world, and perhaps share technical facilities which may be at a premium in China.
If you would like to contact the team please e-mail: Sally.Feldman@bbc.co.uk

CARE IN THE COMMUNITY
You and Yours are looking at some of the schemes which are attempting to make Care in the Community work. One of these is a one stop shop for assessment. During the past two years, arguments have broken out between health workers and social services as to how the responsibility for Care in the Community is divided up. This can mean that if you are trying to organise care, equipment or assessment for a relative, you may find yourself being shunted between departments and having any number of assessments from different services. Does this sound familiar to you? Have you found yourself or a relative being assessed by more than one person?
We want to hear your stories, not about Community Care in general, but specifically on the problems of too many people becoming involved in assessing what you need and giving you that service.
