Set the minimum age for a child to be considered a carer

The Carer_Min parameter controls the minimum age a child must be in order that they can be considered for carer matching. If a child is equal to or older than the CARER_MIN age, then they can be matched, either manually or automatically, as a carer for an incoming child.

To set the minimum age for incoming unmatched carers:

1. Log in to v4 Online and select Administration.
2. Select System Admin | System Administration.
3. Select the System Defaults tab.
4. Scroll down and select the Carer_Min parameter or search using the Filter option.
5.  In the Value field, enter the maximum age at which a child can be considered a carer.
