Letting us know about Young Carers
A young carer is a young person aged between 5 to18 years old, who looks after someone who couldn’t manage without their help. This could mean looking after a parent, brother or sister, grandparent or family friend who has a disability, long-term illness, or drug and alcohol-related issues.
If your child has caring responsibilities at home, please make sure you let us know so that we can offer support to your child and your family.
