Care and support

Young carers fact file

In this information pack, we have tried to include things that you may want to know if you are a young person who has to care for an adult, or a brother or sister in your family.
We have included information about the law, your rights as a young carer, general information about health, education and employment. We have listed people that you can talk to. The information is divided into sections to make it as easy as possible for you to find the information you want.
To look at an electronic version of the fact file, go to the PDF document on this page. To request your own copy, use the Request a publication from Children, Schools and Families link under 'Also on hertsdirect'.
