Please note: This activity depicts fictionalised families. Although all the scenarios reflect real-life choices, we've simplified the options available. In the real world, other choices and ways of achieving the same outcome might be available. And don't forget that there are no 'right' answers for every case - what might be impossible for one family could be achievable for a different family in similar circumstances.
