What is a Young Carer?
A young Carer is a child or young person up to the age of 18 (or a Young Adult Carer up to the age of 21) whose life is affected by looking after someone with a disability or long-term illness or health condition. They carry out, often on a regular basis, significant or substantial caring tasks and assume levels of responsibility usually associated with an adult. The person they care for may be a parent, a sibling or another family member, and the care they give may be practical, physical and/or emotional.
