Carly Ellicott, one of our Early Childhood Studies graduates, has influenced a new episode of CBeebies Bedtime Stories!

The episode showcases the role of society’s youngest carers, with actress Natalie Cassidy reading the book Young Carers in Space, created by illustrator Ana Graca.

Carly is currently working towards a PhD in our School of Psychology highlighting the experiences of young carers.

When we spoke to her, she said, “This is important for ensuring all young carers have access to their legislative right, regardless of age. Our project, and the exposure given to it by the BBC, will help achieve this in a tangible way – CBeebies Bedtime Story has a huge following and I hope Natalie's reading will help young carers in early childhood and their families to feel seen.”
