Carers (Scotland) Act 2016

Commentary on Parts

Part 1 – Key Definitions

Meanings of “carer”, “young carer” and “adult carer”

Section 2 - Meaning of “young carer”

10.This section defines a “young carer” as a carer who is under 18 years old or who has reached 18 years while a pupil at school and remains a pupil at that or another school. This mirrors the definition of “young person” in section 22 of the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014 so that the “named person service” under that Act and the provisions for young carers under this Act can be coordinated.
