A young carer is someone under the age of 18 who provides care and/or emotional support to a family member. You may think of this as just helping out – but if you’re doing this for someone in the family who has a long term illness, physical disability, mental ill health, learning disability, or drug or alcohol misuse, then you are a young carer. We would really like to hear how caring has been for you during since COVID-19 began.
