When Children Take on the Role of Carers: The Unseen Role of Young Caregivers

They do the shopping, cook, take their relatives to the doctor, help their siblings, look after them and care for them – all whilst still going to school themselves. Due to their relatives’ chronic illnesses, ‘young carers’ often shoulder heavy responsibilities within their families that go unnoticed. This discussion sheds light on the realities of their lives and offers insights into a growing social alliance dedicated to supporting them – because young carers need all of us to help them shoulder these responsibilities whilst still being able to be children.
