Young Carers Assessment - Young Carers
If you're under 18 and looking after a family member or friend who is ill, disabled, or misuses drugs or alcohol, get in touch to find out what kind of help you and your family can get.
If you would like to request a Young Carer Assessment or Transition Assessment, then please email time4u@plymouth.gov.uk with 'Young Carers Assessment Request' in the subject field. Alternatively, you can call 0789 9950 155 for an informal chat.
A trained person from Plymouth City Council or an organisation we work with will chat with you and your parents about whether you want to carry on being a carer and how caring affects things like:
- your life and wellbeing
- your education, training or work
- activities you take part in or want to take part in
- your physical, mental and emotional health
If you're eligible for help, we'll agree with you on what support you need and how your needs will be met.
The Children's Society is commissioned by the council to provide Plymouth's Young Carers Service.
