Young carers information

Everyone has a part to play in supporting young carers:

• Families can talk openly about caring and seek help when needed.
• Schools and professionals can look out for signs that a young person may be caring for someone and offer understanding and flexibility.
• Friends and the wider community can help by being supportive and inclusive.
