Abstract [en]
This report provides a first comprehensive transnational comparison of the different legislation, policy and service frameworks that exist to protect and support adolescent young carers (AYCs) in six European countries (Italy, Netherlands, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom) and how these work in practice. Until now, research has primarily focused on estimating the numbers of AYCs and the impact that their caring tasks have on them. Work Package 2 (WP2: National policy, legal and service frameworks) is part of the overall project “Psychosocial support for promoting mental health and wellbeing among adolescent young carers in Europe” (ME-WE), funded by the European Union (Horizon 2020).
