Don't leave parent carers behind - Carers UK campaign

Time is running out!

The Government is bringing forward some major new rights for carers through the Care Bill and the Children and Families Bill but one group of carers is set to miss out.

Parents of disabled children under 18 will be left with lesser rights as they aren’t included in the Care Bill which covers adults caring for adults or the Children and Families Bill which will bring stronger rights for young carers.

Carers UK is calling for urgent changes to be made to the Children and Families Bill to give equal rights to parent carers and to make sure they are not left behind.
