Really great to see BBC Breakfast shining a light on unpaid carers of all ages and the urgent need for more support. Really powerful piece.

APPG chair Chris Vince MP responds to the latest Department for Education School Census data published last week, which found that 69% of schools still recorded zero young carers on their census return.


If you are free this coming Thursday evening from 5pm to 6pm, please do join APPG for Young Carers and Young Adult Carers for the launch of their next inquiry. The launch is being run by a group of brilliant young adult carers from across the country. Register at forms.office.com/e/et83KXWx6g

Really pleasing to hear Patricia Ferguson and Olivia Blake MP raising the important but rarely-considered issue of young carers within migrant families. Newcastle Carers and Ruth Evans Uni of Reading have been doing some great work on this. parliamentlive.tv/event/index/08…
