A young carer is someone aged 18 or under who helps look after a relative with a disability, illness, mental health condition, or drug or alcohol problem. If you’re a young carer, you probably look after a family member or friend of the family.

If you are unsure if you are classed as a young carer, please email: DevonYoungCarers@devon.gov.uk
