Call comes from The Children's Society as MPs debate the Children and Families Bill in parliament today.
A Christian charity wants the government to set up a financial support system to assist young carers.
There's currently over 160 thousand child carers in England, a figure that's up by a fifth since the last census in 2001.
James Bury from The Children's Society has been telling Premier's Victoria Laurence during the News Hour what they want the government to do:
News you can believe in. Stand with Premier Christian News today.
Your gift today ensures that Premier Christian News can press forward in strength, reaching more people with biblical truth and shaping the future of Christian thought. It’s more than just a donation—it’s an investment in renewed minds and transformed lives.
Without continued support, the ability to create and distribute resources that strengthen faith and equip the church will be compromised. But with your help, we can grow deeper, stand firmer, and shine brighter in the culture.
Your support today is critical.
