Young carers
If you are under 18 and help look after a family member with a disability, illness, mental health condition, or drug or alcohol problem by supporting them with tasks such as washing, dressing, preparing meals, housework, or assisting in the care of a sibling, you are a young carer and may be able to get support from us.
You can request to have a young carers assessment. This is an opportunity for you to talk about your needs and how you can receive support. Find out more about the young carers assessment.
You can also get support from Berkshire Youth
