Many Young Adult Carers struggle to find the time to pursue higher or further education. There are however many ways in which someone can still attend education with the flexibility of being able to provide their caring responsibilities. 

Higher education can give young adult carers the independence and skills they need for their chosen career. If you are a Young Adult Carer thinking about pursuing a degree at university, UCAS has some information that might be useful to you. 

UCAS provide information to young people who are interested in higher education but who don't want to, or can't go away to uni and who have caring responsibilities

The Open University provide information on higher education courses that you can study from home and at a time that suits you. 

The Gov.uk website has information about further education. It includes information about financial help available for people wanting to pursue further education. 

The Young People’s Learning Provision (YPLP) provides education courses to 16-24 year olds across Lincolnshire.

They offer alternative education programmes for young people aged between 16 and 24 that can be started at any time of the year.
