This report examining the experiences of trans carers aims to address a current gap in the research on unpaid care, drawing on interviews with four carers whose gender identity is not the same as their sex registered at birth. 

It sheds a valuable light on the experience of trans carers indicating that whilst trans carers encounter many of the same challenges as cisgender carers, experiences of discrimination and prejudice can exacerbate these difficulties - particularly with regards to mental health and accessing health and social services.

Although the small sample size makes it difficult to draw any definitive conclusions from the research, it serves as a useful reminder of the need to integrate trans experiences of care into policy and practice.
