Description

The Department of Health and Social Care is looking to engage a provider to review, evidence and share best practice in identifying young carers (aged under 18), in order to increase timely identification so that young carers can receive appropriate support from services and the community around them.

The identification of young carers is an essential step in ensuring that young carers, and their families, receive the support they need, in particular ensuring that young carers do not have to provide excessive or inappropriate care. This project and its outcomes will support joint working between the statutory and voluntary sectors, and wider communities, as part of developing carer-friendly communities, to achieve better identification and support of young carers.
