carer burden

I don't really want to go off thread just saying when I spoke with dwp recently and was explaining my son does stuff for me, they asked what age is your son, I told them he was an adult and she said that's ok just want to make sure he's not a child. I don't know why1

I couldn't find any statistics on the number of young carers who then get taken into care themselves from an initial search, but I'm sure that this is something some children and young people experience.
As has been pointed out, this thread was started by @pattern1991 to ask about how to reduce the potential burden on a romantic partner rather than young carers. The experience of young carers is certainly an important topic to discuss, so perhaps another thread could be opened?
Does anyone else have experience of how to look out for a partner who takes on caring responsibilities?
