At the Carers Centre we understand the importance of awareness around young carers and their needs and it is a great opportunity for young people, families and professional to consider whether they, or someone they know, may be a young carer and most importantly acknowledging the fantastic work young carers undertake in their daily lives.

We have developed a pack that is appropriate for educational establishments to promote the day, support young carers, and recognise hidden carers within a school or college.

The Schools Toolkit includes:

• Poster for display in the school
• Infographics on who young carers are and what they may do
• A Teachers Guide for supporting Young Carers
• Lesson planning
• Best Practice for teachers
