New UK legislation to better support young carers

• Care Act 2014
• Children and Families Act 2014

Identifying and supporting young carers

• Our research informed the Government’s Carers Action Plan 2018-20
• With RiPfa, we provided training for social work practitioners
• We devised YC-QST-20 to help health, social care and education professionals in their work

Enhancing nationwide support

• Our research inspired the launch of 250+ young carers projects in the UK

International influence

• A new portfolio of support for young carers is growing across Japan – spanning a website, use of YC-QST-20, and the translation and publication of Can I Tell You About Being A Young Carer?
