Publisher's Synopsis
A growing number of children and young people in Britain today are required to provide care and support for a parent or other family member with a long-term illness or disability. This book offers an insight into the needs of these young carers, and outlines the impact this responsibility has on their social, personal, emotional and educational development.;The report was commissioned by Hampshire Social Services to identify young carers in the Winchester area and to encourage the relevant agencies to tailor their support to the needs of young carers.
