About
Young Carers are children and young people aged between 8 and 18 years old whose lives are affected because they live with, and help to look after a family member who is physically disabled, has a long-term illness, learning disability, mental health or drug or alcohol problem.
Referrals are received from any professionals involved with a young carer and their family as long as the young person is in agreement with the referral being made. Referrals are also taken from young carers themselves and family members (with the young person's consent).
