On average it takes two years for someone to self identify as a carer. That's two years when they could be missing out on the information and support that's essential to help them both look after themselves and the person - or people - they are caring for. This Counts as Care show how roles can change over time - and that people often aren't aware they have taken on caring responsibilities. And that Carers UK is there for them
