Summary
An estimated one million under-18s in the UK help to look after a relative with a disability, illness, mental health condition or drug and alcohol problems. Inspired by her experience of providing end-of-life care for her own mum, director Rosie Morris's short documentary Is Mum OK launches on The Guardian this week. In it, Rosie meets with some of Britain's young carers dealing with responsibilities far beyond their years. Jen chats to Rosie about the incredible young people in the film, recognising their achievements and their struggles, and combating the shame that comes from caring as, or being cared for by, a child. The Carer’s Trust provides help and support for carers. You can find out more by visiting their website: https://carers.org/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
