Did a little digging and while I can’t find the raw data from Carers’ Trust, this report definitely seems to misrepresent some of the definitions they use. Carers’ Trust seem to identify groups they call ‘young carers’ (18 and under) and ‘young adult carers’ (18-25) in various of their reports. This is an example of their own writing on the subject: https://carers.org/news-and-media/news/post/361-carers-trust-launches-landmark-young-carers-covenant-to-transform-the-lives-of-over-one-million-children https://carers.org/news-and-media/news/post/361-carers-trust... They generally claim that there are 1 million ‘young carers’ in the UK, and 600,000 additional ‘young adult carers’ That page gives the more plausible rate of high intensity (50 hours a week+) care as “At least 50,000 children and young people, including 3,000 aged just five to nine, spend 50 hours or more a week looking after ill or disabled family members.” It’s not clear whether ‘young people’ is synonymous with ‘young carers’ or also includes ‘young adult carers’
