This survey is for young Carers and young adult Carers who live in the UK.
A young Carer is someone aged under 18 who cares for a friend or family member who, due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an alcohol or substance misuse problem, cannot cope without the young Carer’s support.
Young adult Carers are aged 25 and under, who may have different support needs to young Carers as they become adults.
How you describe yourself is personal. This survey is still for you, even if you don’t call yourself a young Carer or young adult Carer.
