Young carers

The Children’s Society has produced an information pack for young carers in the UK which will make them aware of their human rights, legal rights, and rights to access things like benefits, support and advice. To download the information pack visit www.youngcarer.com/sites/default/files/tcs_ycif_know_your_rights.pdf.

The Carers Trust and the University of Nottingham have published Young Adult Carers at College and University, a report exploring the experiences and perceptions of 101 young adult carers who are in further and higher education.
