Carers Trust report: impact of caring on young carers’ education
Date: 4 Oct 2024
Last week Carers Trust released the findings of a major study into the impact of caring on young carers’ education.
The report, Caring and classes: the education gap for young carers, sets out the state of young carers’ educational attainment and opportunities in England in 2024.
The findings are stark: young carers are missing out on 23 days of schooling every year on average; and fewer than half of the teachers surveyed told us they think young carers in their schools receive sufficient support.
