‘In Renfrewshire we want to support and celebrate the valuable role played by Young Carers within their families and communities. At the same time, we want Young Carers to have the same opportunities as their peers and this means ensuring that no child or young person has caring responsibilities inappropriate to their age and stage of development.’
