Carer’s Information

It is important that we know if you are a carer so that we can make sure you receive information, services and the help that is available.

A carer is anyone who cares, unpaid, for a friend or family member who due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction cannot cope without their support. Find out more on the Carers in Hertfordshire website.

If you are a carer please complete this form.

We also run a drop in support group for carer’s to attend (with or without the person they care for)

For more information please contact Katie, our Carers Champion at rcs.carers@nhs.net

Young Carers Offer – now delivered by Hertfordshire County Council

From 1 April 2026, Hertfordshire County Council is proud to be delivering young carers support in-house, bringing this vital service fully within council provision as the contract with Carers in Hertfordshire came to an end.

This change strengthens our commitment to young carers by embedding support directly into council services, helping us work even more closely with children, families and partners across Hertfordshire.

Support for adult carers will continue to be delivered by Carers in Hertfordshire, with no change to that service.

A new Young Carers webpage has been developed in collaboration with young carers and their families and includes information about the support available, team contact details, and ‘a Day in the Life of’ form to register a young carer online so that they can get the support they need.

Hertfordshire County Council has contacted all registered young carers directly to welcome them, provide updated contact information, details on how to access support, and a link to the new webpage.
