YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

“Society at large doesn’t think a huge amount about carers until they need carers.”

Carers are the backbone of the social welfare system, providing mental, physical, and emotional assistance to extremely vulnerable people, such as those with dementia or severe autism. They’re often paid minimum wage to face excrement, physical resistance, and even death on a regular basis, with little emotional support. In this episode of Informer, we meet a former carer who explains how a lack of funding and major understaffing fails everyone and leaves the industry open to abuse.
