Young Carers of Granville: Identification
The definition of a young carer is someone under 18 who helps look after someone in their family, or a friend, who is ill, disabled or misuses drugs or alcohol.

Some young carers look after more than one person and may have health issues of their own.

Some young carers start giving care at a very young age and some are not aware they are carers. Other young people become carers overnight due to sudden illness or injury.

Young carers can have many different roles and responsibilities that can include but are not
restricted to:
• Practical tasks, such as cooking, housework and shopping.
• Physical care, such as helping someone out of bed.
• Emotional support, such as talking to someone who is distressed.
• Personal care, such as helping someone dress.
• Managing the family budget and collecting prescriptions.
• Helping to give medicine.
• Helping someone communicate.
• Looking after brothers and sisters.
