Publications on Carers

Carers' Week falls during the same period as Men's Health Week (13th - 19th June).  To kick-off this week, ARK will be launching a set of reports based on survey data which reflect the roles and experiences of carers in Northern Ireland.  “An Ordinary Life? Caring in Northern Ireland Today” (Research Update 75) uses data from the 2010 Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey.  “Young Carers Too” (Research Update 76) focuses on young carers, based on data from the 2010 Young Life and Times Survey.  “Men as Carers” (Men in Northern Ireland Report 7) uses data from a range of surveys and official statistics, and has been produced to support Men’s Health Week 2011.  These publications are available for free downloading as PDF files on the ARK website: www.ark.ac.uk/publications
