It has improved my knowledge massively. By doing the training I realised there are so many more children in my school who should be registered as young carer.

This included 215 schools, Early Help, NELFT NHS Foundation Trust, Children and Adult Social Care, Family Hubs, Fire and Rescue and more.


I will now be more aware of the issues faced by young carers when working with families. This training will help in making sure I can confidently identify a child that may be in need of referral.
