Yes — Warwickshire says you may be eligible for carer support if you look after a child or young person, but the route depends on their age and disability status.
| Situation | What Warwickshire says |
|---|---|
| You’re an adult caring for someone aged 0–25 | You can ask your social worker for a carer’s assessment. |
| You’re a parent carer of a disabled child aged 0–18 | You can request a carer’s assessment through the Parent Carer Support Pathway. |
| You’re a young carer under 18 | You need to contact the Warwickshire Young Carers’ Project to arrange an assessment. |
| You’re caring for someone aged 18–25 | You can access support and a carers assessment from Caring Together Warwickshire. |
If you’re caring for a disabled child under 18, Warwickshire also notes that even if you don’t see yourself as a parent carer, recognising that role can help you access support for you and your family.
