Lost in translation? The challenges of measuring informal care among children and young people

This article uses data from the 2015 Young Life and Times and Kids' Life and Times surveys to discuss the methodological challenges of identifying young carers in surveys.

This article discusses how prior consultation with young carers to improve understanding did not have the outcome anticipated.
