Toolkits and resources for Young Carers in the UK

    1. Young Carer Assessments: Every local authority in the UK has a duty to identify and assess young carers' needs. These assessments help to identify the types of support a young carer might need, such as access to respite services, counselling, or practical support.

    2. Respite Services: Respite services offer young carers a break from their caring responsibilities. This could be through a range of activities, such as after-school clubs, day trips, or overnight stays.

    3. Counselling and Emotional Support: Caring for a family member or friend can be stressful, and young carers may need additional emotional support. Services such as Kooth offer emotional support to young carers cope with the emotional demands of caring.

    4. Financial Support: Young carers may be entitled to financial support, such as Carer's Allowance, which is a means-tested benefit for people who provide substantial care for someone with an illness or disability.

    5. Education Support: Young carers may struggle to keep up with their studies due to their caring responsibilities. Some schools and colleges have designated staff members who can offer additional support and advice to young carers, such as additional tutoring or flexible exam arrangements.
