Young carers in North Tyneside feel they have “missed out on their childhood” according to a Healthwatch report.
Healthwatch has consulted with the North Tyneside Carers Centre for the last two years to collect feedback from young carers and how they can be better supported. 104 young carers aged between five and twentyone took part.
The consultation discovered young carers have a number of concerns and worries and do not feel supported by a number of bodies.
