In 2013, Carers Trust commissioned the University of Nottingham to undertake research to examine the experiences and aspirations of young adult carers with regards to school, further and higher education, and work.

A total of 362 people viewed the survey and responses from 295 young adult carers aged 14–25 were analysed. This is the third in a series of reports to be published across 2013 and 2014 looking at issues related to school, college and university, employment, and those not in work or education.
