Are you "Young Carer Aware"?
If you would like to find out more about the role and rights of young carers and how they can be supported why not take a look at our Young Carer Aware course?
Despite the recent media focus on carers, a large and important group are all too often overlooked: young carers. And that's where our Young Carer Aware e-learning course can help.
Young Carer Aware provides everyone with a practical understanding of young carers and their needs. More importantly, though, it signposts all the sources of support that are available to help them enjoy a happy, fulfilling childhood.
Young Carer Aware is made up of four bite-sized sections:
- Young but not care free - Defines a "young carer" and provides key facts and figures on young carers and the work they do.
- Legislation and children's rights - Introduces the rights of children and the legislation in place to protect young carers. Now fully revised and updated to incorporate the Children & Families Act and Care Act.
- Meeting the needs of young carers - Explores the problems young carers can face and the services available to support them.
- Test your knowledge - Comprehensive mastery test to verify each user's knowledge and understanding of the contents of the course.
