New research has found that children in England with caring responsibilities are 35% less likely than their peers to reach the expected standard for reading, writing, and math by the end of primary school. The study is a collaboration between researchers from Anglia Ruskin University, City St George’s, University of London, and University College London, and is published in the International Journal of Education Research. It is the first to examine self-reported care alongside official education records on a national scale.
