Problem B

Case study

Carole has a three-year-old son called Ben. She was an administration assistant before she stopped working three years ago. She has enjoyed being at home with Ben but is now considering going back to work. She is not sure about what kind of childcare facilities are available and is anxious about leaving Ben all day.

She isn’t really sure how much she will earn or how much childcare will cost. She is concerned about how working might change the benefits that she is entitled to. Although she enjoyed her work and was good at it, she has lost a bit of confidence and thinks that some of her IT skills are out of date.
