This guidebook provides advice and hope for children who provide care for others. The author, Mike Raynor, was a young carer when he was a child. He describes the challenges he faced, the impact that caring had on him and how he has coped. He then gives practical advice on many topics, based on his first hand experiences, followed by the contact details of organisations that can help and an overview of the relevant laws. Whilst written for young carers, this book also provides a wealth of information for adult carers and adults who work with young carers
