(05 Feb 2018, 5:02 pm)Nicholas Perry wrote I'm thinking of applying for Go north east, I've been going through the application but I have a query about it. it asks if you are working or not, well I'm not unemployed and I'm not working, as I am a carer for my son, which means when it comes to the employment details I don't have any. I also don't have any references for work. if anyone could help and point me in the right direction I will be most grateful

It may be worth speaking to GNE and explaining the situation.
Otherwise, there is some advice on the NHS website (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/social-car...s-a-carer/)

Without telling you what to do (I have no idea what specific circumstances you are in), short-term volunteering may help with the references.
It may be possible to work it around any other responsibilities and it could help get over the hurdle you have regarding references.

Good luck!
