Young Carers Services

Bath and North East Somerset's Children's Service wishes to commission a young carers service for those young people involved in caring roles and responsibilities. This is a 3 year commission from 1st April 2019 to 31st March 2022. A Young Carer is defined for the purposes of this tender as a child or young person under the age of 18 who is providing regular on going care and/or emotional support to a family member who is physically or mentally ill, disabled or misuses substances. A young carer becomes vulnerable when the level of care-giving and responsibility to the person in need of care becomes excessive or inappropriate for that child, risking impacting on his or her emotional or physical well-being and/or educational achievement and life chances.
