BBC seeks graduates opinion on helicopter parenting

The development team in BBC Current Affairs come up with new ideas for Current Affairs programmes across BBC ONE, TWO and THREE. At the moment we're in the very beginning stages and there are several stages programme proposals must go through in order to get made.

We are currently working on an idea for BBC THREE relating to the notion or 'helicopter parenting' and would welcome the opportunity to speak to anyone with an opinion regarding this. The research that I collate will then form a treatment to be submitted and considered for a programme to be commissioned. I would really like to speak to someone who feels that their parents take a keen interest in their education and/or employment post graduation and how they feel about this.

Are you unhappy about the fact that your parents insist on accompanying you to careers fairs or telephone your employer to discuss your starting salary? Alternatively, are you happy with the support your parents offer by their hands-on approach even though some people suggest that your parents may be interfering? Do you know someone who has 'helicopter parents' and does not realise?

I can be contacted by email at [email protected] or by calling 0161 244 3782.
