Supporting Fair Futures for Young Carers means they're able to achieve career aspirations, beneficial not only to young carers, but also to society & the economy. #YoungCarersActionDay

🌟 Today marks Young Carers Action Day, focusing on the theme 'Fair Futures for Young Carers'. 🌟 As a former young carer, I've been fortunate to navigate through university and establish a fulfilling career, first as a teacher and now in the charity sector. But luck shouldn't be the determining factor. Every young carer deserves the opportunity to pursue their dreams with unwavering support. Yet, the reality remains stark for many remarkable young individuals: 📉 Young adult carers are 38% less likely to attain a degree-level qualification compared to their peers. This figure skyrockets to 86% for those providing over 35 hours of care per week. 📉 Those devoting more than 35 hours weekly to care duties are also 46% less likely to secure employment. Today, the Carers Trust launches the Young Carers Covenant, urging organisations nationwide to pledge their support for young carers. It's a simple yet profound act: ✅ Provide awareness training to identify and support young carers in education settings. ✅ Implement an Unpaid Carers Policy outlining available support within the workplace. Let's ensure that every young carer has the resources and opportunities they deserve. Let's create a future where their aspirations know no bounds. Sign up today and make a difference. #YoungCarersActionDay #FairFuturesForYoungCarers #SupportYoungCarers

The Young Carers Covenant sets out 10 key outcomes that young carers across the UK have said are key to improving their lives. Sign the covenant and support young carers: https://bit.ly/3Tq9oPi #CarersWeek

Did you see me?👀 I simply couldn’t let Carers Rights Day 2023 go by without doing my part to promote the rights of carers. In spirit of the theme, ‘your rights today, tomorrow and in the future’, we held a webinar last week for carers where we shared steps carers can take to start caring for their future👩💻 If didn’t get the chance to come along, you can now watch our recording of it here!👇 #CarersRightsDay #CarersRightsDay2023 #CarersRights #Carers #Caring
