Three sets of parents in Edinburgh face fines or potential imprisonment due to their children failing to attend school. Kay asks whether this is the best way to tackle truancy.
Also on the show today...A report published this week by the Resolution Foundation think tank shows that the high cost of childcare is leaving some working parents with very little to show from their pay packet.
