What is a Carent: Why Millions of Adult Children Are Secretly Burning Out

In this Whitehall Sources special, Calum Macdonald, Jo Tanner and James Nation are joined by Adam Dunlop (CEO of Carents) and Dr. Jackie Gray (Carents Founder) to pull back the curtain on the UK's adult carer crisis. They dive deep into the economic, emotional, and structural battles facing 4 million adult children in the UK today. Over 70% of carents are forced to leave the workforce or downplay their responsibilities due to societal stigma and broken local systems. We look at why Whitehall continues to fight over cash while ignoring the integrations that could save the UK economy billions.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
