When you're referred to our Young Carers Service, here's what happens:

1. Initial Contact: A Young Carer Worker will reach out to you and your family
2. Needs Assessment: We'll look at:
• What caring activities you may be doing
• Whether these activities are appropriate for your age
• How your caring role is affecting you
• Your voice and your parent's voice in the process
• Input from other important adults in your life (if you want)
3. Support Plan: Based on the assessment, we'll create a personalized plan that might include:
• Information, advice, and guidance
• Referrals to other helpful services
• Access to our support programs
• Ongoing support from our team
4. Individual Support: All our assessments, support plans, and services are tailored specifically to you and your family's unique situation
