Kent Young Carers Awareness Training

We are pleased to offer this free monthly training session where we will:

Explore the definition of a Young Carer
Discuss Young Carer legislation and their rights
What responsibilities Young Carers may undertake
The impact their caring role may have to their education, social lives and mental health
How to refer to our service for necessary support and signposting

Who is the training for?

The training is open to all schools/professionals in Kent.

Whether you work directly with children in a school setting, youth and faith groups, social care, out in the community or within a GP surgery, Young Carers are everyone's business and play a vital role in supporting a family member.

The training strives to ensure all are mindful in identifying, acknowledging and supporting Young Carers and their families in order to access the same opportunities as their peers.
