Some carers think it isn't worth telling the university or college about their caring responsibilities. However, carers deal with managing their responsibilities alongside their education differently, and you may still need some occasional support – especially if your circumstances change. Some carers also provide large amounts of emotional support, even if they are not giving as much physical or practical care.
Sometimes situations change, so it’s important to make sure that support is ready when you need it - even if you never do.
Remember that support is provided to ensure you have a fair chance to do well in your studies.
