A COUNCIL has been honoured for its work supporting young people who act as carers for a parent, grandparent or sibling.
Durham County Council has been presented with the Young Carers Charter, developed by Family Action.
Council chief executive, Terry Collins, said: “Wherever our county’s young carers need to access services or assistance, we are committed to bearing their unique needs in mind.”
