If you look after someone who is ill, frail or disabled, you are a carer.
Many people don't get the support they need because they don't recognise the caring role they have. If your husband/wife, parent, child or friend cannot manage without your support, there is help available for you.
If you are under 18 and caring for someone, please see here for information that's relevant to you.
