Support for young carers
Get a young carers card
You can get an ID Card that tells people you are a young carer.
You can show people this card so that you don't have to tell them lots of personal details.
You can show this card to professionals such as:
- teachers
- doctors
- nurses
- pharmacists
How to get a young carers card
You can get a card once you have completed a young carer assessment.
These assesments are carried out by South Tyneside Young Carers Service.
