A young carer is someone aged under 18 who cares for a friend or family member who, due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction, cannot cope without their support. Older young carers are also known as young adult carers, and they may have different support needs to younger carers.
If the school/college is not listed or the young carer is home schooled please select "School not listed" or "Home Schooled" from the options.
