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.
The Young Carer Aware online training course is made up of four bite-sized sections:
-
Young but not care free
Defines “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. On successfully passing the test, users can download a personal course completion certificate.
