Thousands of grandparents across Britain are being denied access to their grandchildren.

A change in the law in the late 1980s meant people no longer had any automatic right to see their children’s offspring.

But after more than a decade of frustration, one woman from Telford has decided to take on the law.

Pam Wilson has formed the Grandparents' Action Group to help people win back what was once a natural right.
 

Inside Out meets Pam and other campaigners who claim that grandparents have an important role to play in the upbringing of children.
 

We also learn about the devastating effect separation can have when we meet the woman who has spent her life's savings on a lengthy legal battle to win access to her grandchildren.
