Who is a young carer?
A young carer is a person under 18 who provides, or intends to provide, care for another person. The concept of 'care' includes practical or emotional support, and 'another person' means anyone within the same family, be they adult or child.
What to do if you think you are a young carer and want support?
If you require a Young Carer’s needs assessment or want to seek support for yourself as a young carer, please contact Royal Borough of Greenwich, Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub on 020 8921 3172 or mash-referrals@royalgreenwich.gov.uk
