Show Notes Chapter Markers

To celebrate Young Carers Action Day, Lauren Roberts, our Foundation Advocacy lead invited Rosario Waterlow, Corporate Partnerships Executive to talk about her lived experience of being a young carer and navigating the education system and employment. Listen to hear about what more educators and employers can do support young carers to tackle the growing issues of isolation. 

At the City & Guilds Foundation we are all about removing the barriers that less advantaged members of our community face when accessing quality skills development and sustainable employment. Carers Trust, part of our Foundation Collective, are a major charity who work to improve the support, services and recognition for anyone living with the challenges of caring, unpaid, for a family member or friend.
