Up Next, @ilsecmsyp discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdowns on young people. She says the impacts on education and mental health have been particularly devastating. Her reflections are particularly relevant on #YoungCarersActionDay. #CabinetTakeover

Now we have @kaylamsyp who thanks our young carers and young adult carers for all the work and dedication they put into their caring roles. #YoungCarersActionDay

“As a young carer things haven’t always been easy” @ilsecmsyp discusses how growing up things were not easy but #YoungCarersActionDay will hopefully be a first step to make things easier for our young people 🌟

Next up is @WiktoriaMSYP, who takes the time to talk from personal experience as a young carer but also thanks our young people with caring responsibilities for all their hard work

We now have Ellie Craig MSYP who is a member of the RTC campaign, She speaks from personal experience of what today means to her. “Raising awareness is just the start, we need to look to the future and take action” #YoungCarersActionDay 🙌

Charlotte is a young carer and sharers her views on #YoungCarersActionDay "it’s also celebrating the variety of different young carers" we at RTC agree today is about celebration of all the amazing work that young carers do! 🎊

Today is a landmark day for children and young people in Scotland. As #UNCRCScotland passes through parliament, it’s important to think about what having children’s rights protected in law means to us. This is what it means to me !

With the stage 3 debate of the #UNCRCScotland today we have a real chance to make incorporation not a dream of the future but a reality in the present!

Finally, we hear from C-Jay Quigley ! C-Jay takes this chance to explain how proud she is of all young carers in Scotland. This #YoungCarerActionDay lets take the time to appreciate and show how proud we are of every young carer. 💜

the stage 3 debate of the #UNCRCScotland is today! We have a chance to change the lives of all young people. The UNCRC is our young peoples futures and the future is our young people!

This #YoungCarerActionDay has been a blast! We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved. We will continue to advocate for young carers and young adult carers. Scottish Youth Parliament SYP Board Carers Trust Scotland

Burnout is something we should all look out for. I have recently experienced it myself and the best thing I have found to help is getting outside and spending some time disconnected.

As carers week comes to a close we wanted to take this opportunity to say that we at release the cap hope you have all had an amazing week! 🎉👏🏻
