Contract Type FiledJuly 4th, 2013The 2011 National Census indicated that there are 166,363 young carers, 20% up from 2001 (and widely believed to be an under-representation of the true figure; in 2010, a BBC and university of Nottingham survey suggested there could be around 700,000). We should also take into account that these latest figures may not recognise young people who care for an adult with mental health issues or substance misuse difficulties.
