  Carer Dads Friday 25 October 2002  
Carer Dads As half-term draws to an end for most children, up and down the country hordes of carers will be planning to return to work. Most of those carers will be mothers.

According to a new report, Dad's Army from the Work Foundation in Oxford, dads will have stayed at work - too scared to jeopardise their careers by taking time off.
Martha asks Charlie Lewis, Professor of Psychology at Lancaster University and Richard Reeves, from the Work Foundation, Oxford and author of the Dad's Army report whether companies really are discriminating against fathers.
