Argyll & Bute Carers Support

Service Provision

If you look after a family member or help someone who has a disability, is unwell or frail, you may be entitled to an Adult Carer Support Plan (ACSP) or Young Carer Statement (YCS). You can request an ACSP/YCS or be referred for supports if you;

• provide care or support for a relative/friend/neighbour.
• you will be providing care or support at a future time, to say, someone who may be leaving hospital.
• are a young person caring for a relative, for instance, a parent.
• are the parent or other carer of a child with additional needs.

You don’t need to be living with the person you care for to have an Adult Carer Support Plan or Young Carer Statement.
