Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted lives across the world, however for some groups, the disruption has been more keenly experienced - this includes young carers. Young carers are children, adolescents and young adults who provide informal care to someone else, typically a parent or other family member with a disability, long term health condition or who is elderly. In developed countries, it is estimated that 2-8% of those aged under 18 years are young carers [1]. The disadvantage and invisibility of young carers, already substantial prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been exacerbated during the pandemic, with likely implications for their ongoing mental health and well-being.
