Guidance for those under 25 who provide care for someone
The United Kingdom Department of Health & Social Care has recently published a very useful Guidance for those under 25 who provide care for someone.
This guidance is for young carers and young adult carers (see below). It will also be helpful for those who provide services to support young people who provide care (also referred to as young carers or young adult carers).
The information and advice provided here is designed to help young carers understand the changes they need to make and signposts the help available during the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak.
It builds on previously published guidance for those who provide unpaid care to friends or family and is also available as an easy read version.
