Young Carer Aware
Help young carers get the recognition and support they deserve with our elearning course
Despite the recent media focus on carers, a large and important group are all too often overlooked: young carers. And that's where our Young Carer Aware online training course can help.
Developed in collaboration with Surrey County Council and Surrey Young Carers, 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.
