The Commonwealth Charter for Young Carers

 

2023 is the Commonwealth Year of Youth and with the development of the Commonwealth Young Carers Charter there has been significant progress in the need for young carers recognition and support in countries around the world.

 

Young carers from across the Commonwealth informed and developed this Charter, engaging in consultation activities that were grounded in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.

 

Thank you to the young carers from Australia, Canada, England, India, Kenya, New Zealand, Nigeria, Tanzania and Uganda who informed this charter and were champions for young carers  across the globe.
