Young Carers
Support in School
Many young people have someone in their home who is disabled, living with a physical or
mental illness or have difficulty with alcohol or drugs, and they may need extra support and
additional care from their family.
A Young Carer is someone under the age of 18 who may be supporting someone with
personal care, physical tasks around the home, or provide emotional support to someone they love.
