The Children’s Society has published a report analysing government data on 15,000 young carersacross England. It reveals the impact caring has on a child’s life. The report found that young carers have significantly lower educational attainment and are more likely than the national average to be ‘not in education, employment or training’ (NEET) aged 16 to 19. The Children’s Society has formed The Young Carers in Focus Partnership to provide young carers with practical advice and support and the opportunity to voice their concerns.
