It is something that this committee has heard about, particularly as it relates to younger carers who have a caring role but do not identify themselves as carers because, for example, they do not believe they are full-time carers if they are going to school or to part-time work. There is a wider question around the definition of caring and what care looks like, be it in the home or the community.
