Moving from young carer to adult carer

BCP Council young carers team supports young people who are carers up until the age of 18.  We want you to know that caring and your responsibilities don't just stop because you have reached this age. 

Going forward BCP Council adult social care team will provide you with support in your caring role in the future.
