Your local council and health organisation are currently asking different people what it’s like to be a carer, so that they can work to better support Carers in the future. Please could you complete this short questionnaire, so that we can include all your thoughts on how it feels to be a carer and what can be done to make things better? Thank you.

  YCs /YACs should realise they are a carer and people should value the care they give. Carers should be asked what help they need.            
  YCs/YACs should be helped to do their best at school and at work.              
  YCs/YACs should be able to spend time with their families and friends & have help to make plans for the future and have someone they can ask for help.            
  YCs/YACs should be helped so that they can stay healthy & happy.
