Support for young carers in Warwickshire

As a school you may already be aware of, or made a referral to, Warwickshire Young Carers. 

The Warwickshire Young Carers Project can provide support to schools in a number of ways to help raise the awareness of the needs of Young Carers and to help support individual needs, including:

• Staff training
• Assemblies
• Aid to establish support for Young Carers in school
• Support to complete the Warwickshire Young Carers Schools Award

The project has launched two new training sessions for schools:

1. Young Carer Awareness Training - providing a greater understanding of the role of Young Carers and the support the service offers.

2. Young Carer School Lead Training - providing a greater understanding of the Schools Award and the role of a Young Carers Schools Lead.

Courses run on various dates starting in February, through to June 2019. To find out more take a look at the Eventbrite page.
