West Sussex Young Carers
West Sussex Young Carers Family Service
Young carers are children and young people under 18 years old who look after a member of the family who is sick, disabled, has mental health problems or is misusing drugs or alcohol. If you are a young carer or you want to get support for a young carer, West Sussex Young Carers Family Service can help you. Phone West Sussex County Council and tell the person who answers the phone that you would like to make a referral to the Young Carers’ Family Team or email them.
