Spotlight on Young Carers: Amplifying Voices for Better Support
The latest research of the UK National Institute for Health and Care Research in collaboration with Sheffield Young Carers and a national advisory group of young carers reveals vital insights into the challenges faced by young carers and strategies to improve their support systems. The findings, summarized in a compelling animation co-created with young carers, have been shared in practitioner workshops where attendees pledged actionable improvements for their communities.
The study underscores the importance of inclusive, responsive support, particularly addressing disparities in access and awareness within marginalized communities. By prioritizing co-production with young carers, we aim to bridge the gap between policy and practice, ensuring every young carer’s voice shapes the support they receive.
