We may be able to offer some support to the child who is taking on a caring role. This may make you feel easier knowing they have a place to go with other young people in a similar situation.

It is the family's choice whether you would like to receive support from Sheffield Young Carers. We only accept referrals where the young carer has given permission to share information with us. We also ask for the parent/carer's consent wherever possible.

Families can refer themselves over the phone or by requesting a home visit from one of our workers to complete the referral form.

We could also put you in contact with other agencies who may be able to offer services and support for your needs e.g. practical, emotional, etc
