Young Carers Referral

1. All young carers aged between 6-18 have a right to an assessment regardless of who they care for, what type of care they provide, or how often they provide it.
2. A young carer has the right to an assessment based on the appearance of need – which means that young carers will no longer have to request an assessment or be undertaking a ‘regular and substantial’ amount of care.
3. A young carer does not need to have an assessment to access any of our services. 
4. Consent MUST be given by both the young carer and a parent/carer to be referred for an assessment and they MUST be made aware that the completed assessment will be sent to the Local Authority to input onto their systems.
