Young carers

Are you aged between 16-25, looking after someone who can't manage without your help, and want to start college?

As a young carer, you will be dealing with different challenges compared to other students your age. You may be struggling with the balance of caring for someone and trying to continue or get back into education.

We know this, and we are here to make that life-changing start to college possible for you.

Through our Student Engagement team, we can offer you:

• personal study support across all our subjects
• help with course costs and applying for bursaries
• personal and emotional support
• help with referrals to other organisations, e.g. Social Care, National Health Service or Carers Oxfordshire.
