Details

The Bolton Council and Barnardo’s service assesses each young carer’s situation and uses family group conferencing to develop a support plan. This ensures that parents and the wider extended family can understand and address the impact on the child of the responsibilities they are carrying. The service coordinates a review of the adult’s care plan at the same time as looking at the child’s needs to ensure that the adult is appropriately supported without reliance on the child.
