The new ten-year National Carers Strategy vision states that those professionals most regularly in contact with young carers and their families should have the knowledge required to identify problems early on and thus encourage young carers to come forward for the help needed.
Surrey Young Carers & Action for Carers will provide training to organisations on carers issues, if you would benefit from this please do not hesitate to contact 01483 568269 or [email protected]
These are the key acts and recommendations that support carers;
they aim to ensure that carers have the right to an assessment of needs. And that services are in place which enable the young person to reach their full potential. Click here to view
