Banks, P., Cogan, N., Riddell, S., Deeley, S., Hill, M. and Tisdall, K. (2002) ‘Does the Covert Nature of Caring Prohibit the Development of Effective Services for Young Carers?’, British Journal of Guidance and Counselling 30(3): 229-246.Editorial Comment:
Abstract: Almost 3 million children in the UK live in households where at least one family member is affected by chronic illness or disability. A proportion of these children will be young carers. This paper begins with a brief review of the literature relating to young carers. Particular attention is paid to the adoption of a caring role, the 'hidden' nature of caring including young people's reluctance to discuss their caring, the impact of caring on education, and the location and type of services provided. The findings of a small-scale study carried out in Scotland are presented in order to highlight some of the issues raised in the literature. Discussion focuses on the implications for the field of guidance and counselling.
