As the Primary School Liaison Officer I can help your school to raise awareness and support young carers by: Assemblies - aim to give children a better understanding of who young carers are, why they may be caring, and some of the issues they face, as well as what support is available to them. It gives them a chance to ask questions. They will also have an opportunity to identify themselves as a possible young carer. Staff Briefings - to increase the awareness and understanding of school staff around young carer issues, identification and support. Group Work - If a number of young carers are identified in your school, group work sessions can be established to support young carers in many ways such as: building confidence, discussing concerns or developing friendship groups. Individual Support - can be provided to young people in ways such as: advocating on behalf of the young person, attending TAC meetings or one to one support. |
